pkrasna Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) I allready finished an russian MiG-21SMT and its apropriate to stay with the same firm. Italeri Mig-29UB is ono of the best if not the best kit on the market. 1) Detailing on the outside is fair but the cokpit design is very minimalistic. The wals of the cockpit had no details so I had to solve them first. 2) To mount two Pavlas resin seats I had to clean out all details on the floor of the cockpit. I also adeed elevated side instrumental panels. 3) Instrumental wall panels mounted on it's place. In the next week I will finish and paint the cockpit. Cheers!

LanceR21 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 ! Side panels are great! Can't wait to see next step! Cheers, Nenad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pkrasna Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Thank you all! Are you planning on opening the canopy? Actualy not. The detail are not so realistic as the aires set. They wil fill the interior just enough to add a little charm under the closed canopy ;) . primož Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pkrasna Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 4) After a while we continue with this story. To mount properly the instrumental panel I had to sand of a litle bit of centre bulkhead. 5) Cockpit side panels got it's details. Also I added the new bulkhead behind the second pilot. 6) If we join both parts together we get... 7)An at the end two wiwevs from left and right. This is all for now!

pollie Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Great scratchbuilding. You're right; maybe not as nice as the Aires set, but surely a HUGE improvement over what Italeri has to offer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pkrasna Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Thanks Dragan, Sebastjan and pollie! 8) The cockpit has been painted and asembled. Here are a few photos. And this is all for now. Primož Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RookieLSP Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That is a crazy amount of detail for a 1/72 kit. Wonderful job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomcat Fan Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Dobro to... ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pkrasna Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Dobro to... ! Hvala (Thanks!) . 9) I finally made a small step to the end of this project. To fit the inbox exhaust as it should be I needed to shorten the exhaust tube. On the left is before and on the right is after the razor saw procedure. 10) Also I managed to glue together the intakes. They needed some filling and sanding but not much effort was took to set them straight. Primož Quote Link to post Share on other sites
