Steve's Airfix 1/72 Mig 29A Fulcrum
- Thread starter HAWKERHUNTER
- Start date
Just catching up Steve. Looking good, as the others have said, it's a shame the nose cone is horizontal which will create a bit of work for you
Cheers Joe. Fortunately its a half decent fit so not anticipating too many problems. Fingers crossed.
So with the cockpit tub fitted I was able to fit the front lower section of the fuzz.
Its left me with a small amount of seam work to rectify. The below picture is the worse side.
This side fitted better
With the nose fitted together I could then fix the air intakes
There is a lot of cleaning up to do on these parts and also the air intakes themselves
Pilot painted and fitted prior to canopy going on.
Thanks for looking in chaps.

Good work so far Steve, looks like you will have your hands full with this one though

Geoff.
In flight or grounded? The pilot looks good.
A few seams, but nothing you can't handle Steve.
It's a beautiful aircraft in the air or on the ground, Steve. Unfortunately our members have had some issues building the Airfix kit, the same as you are facing now.
Miss the sound of these flying overhead around this time of the year preparing for our National day fly overs. Now it's replaced with F-18's and Sukhois. Soon they will be replaced by the F-50's and whatever else the budget permits.
One of our modeling members here flew the Mig-29 as a wing commander for the Smokey Bandits. Can't remember if I posted an image taken from his cockpit flying over a USS carrier during a joint exercise with Harriers. Closest a Russian Mig ever got to a US carrier.
Cheers,
