Nice progress joe , the camo looks perfect . Towbar is a strange inclusion in the kit , cant imagine there are many 1/72 soviet airfield tow vehicles about ( probably none in fact ) looking great though , and almost as many pieces as the MiG !
Cheers Tony. Yep, the tow bar was a surprise, and they made it fiddly to construct. I wasn't going to bother with it, but I already have enough left overs in my spares box

looking good Joe. Soon be time for the decals.

Good work, Joe. You are definitely in the home stretch with this one. Looking forward to the decals.
Cheers guys. Decals are indeed next.

Decals have been applied, and there were lots of them. It took me a whole day and even then I left off some tiny subtle ones, which to be perfectly honest I just couldn't be arsed with.

Must have been a Soviet thing, but the stencils were largely blue in colour, which makes them hard to see against the grey.

Trumpeter's decals were thin and settled down with very little solution required. There was however a few misprints of decal numbers in the instructions, leaving you to work out where they should go. They could have separated the stencil positions from the main scheme to help with that.

There were no rips or issues, other than attempting to get black strips to wrap around the missiles. I know for the future to paint them instead. I did some research and found the same missiles with no black bands, so I got out of jail there.

I'll add some photos later on.
