Mikoyan & Gurevich Mig-29UB Polish Air Force - GPM

[Ofanim]

Hi everyone! Here is some little progress.
The two structures parts are now glued together along with the cockpit which is almost complete, I have to build the second seat but tonight I wasn't enough courageous to build it so I made the front landing gear well.
Regards
Ronan

Dear Ronan - very nice building. I have this model printed and ready but in my case I always like to build the jets of the
60's and even more the 50's so this is why the last models I built were the mig 15 and f7u-3m.
Anyway its good to build the new ones as well !

This kit was not a download kit. If it is printed from a download, it is a pirated version.

By Isaac's photo of the Mig, I see that this one has camouflage! I thought it was kind of all grey, since the cover doesn't
help to get a better glimpse of the true colors.

Ronan, can you please show a photo of a page to see the colors?

I used Sharpie silver marker to paint the engine blades on my F-14; but yours on this one looks great.

Hi !
Thank you Gary Yair and Milenio!

Nice choice of Era Yair, in my case, I like the cold war jets and the modern jets (even if I like all aircrafts).

That's right this one has a camo, the all-gray one is from Halinski (I'm not sure)
Good idea for the silver one the engine blades , I will try it .
Here is a picture of one sheet

I looked around the internet to see some pictures of the buildig of this beast because with the lack of instructions I don't really knwo what to do and in which order I have to build parts.
So I started to build the nose, I will add some pictures later
Regards,
Ronan

Hi everyone !
Here some more progress on the MIG
The skin isn't an easy part but here the shape of the nose makes it pretty difficult
I've scratchbuilt a little GSh-30 but the wire moved during the progress so the result is different as I expected.

I suspected this one was going to be difficult,I let you finished it before thinking starting mine
More seriously studding the kit I thought the line were quite heavy with always the same question, must I cut inside or outside those lines !!?

Anyway keep going it's a good build.

Thank you Dje for your support !
Yes this isn't an easy model and as you said the lines are pretty heavy, I usually cut outside the lines but this time I had some troubles which pushed me to removed some of those lines.
The noses shape is pretty complex so take your time on it.
I spent 1h30 on the rear part (the one with the auxiliary air intakes)
To avoid the white inside of the part I added two pieces to glue between the spars and I painted them with the structure.

I also added some wires as you can see on the last picture.
