Jeff Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I search everywhere on this planet but I couldn't find the 1:32 Revell Mig-29, which is easily found in my LHS few years ago. Now, it disappeared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's a bit insane. :) I think by the time you start you own Revell's Mig, there will have been quite a few improvements to simplify your build considerably. ;) Cheers! Alexander.

Tripio Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hello Eastern, I know that there are soem more progress... When will you send those pictures to ARCers? I was totally shocked by the job you are doing there in secret... :blink: Regards,Laz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hello Eastern,I know that there are soem more progress... When will you send those pictures to ARCers? I was totally shocked by the job you are doing there in secret... Regards,Laz Hi Laz! Thanks for dropping by and bumping it up. :) Well...Yes, some more progress actually takes place, insignificant though. But no secrets at all and I will place a couple of pics soon. To be honest, I just put my Fulcrum off for another current project - AIM-9X. I'm just about finishing the rear fin and will post some pics as well before long.;) Cheers! Alexander.

Eastern Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Well, as Laz gave me a gentle nudge, I managed to show you some more progress, though I'm not up for my Fulcrum presently as I'm busy with another projects that tempts me much.;) OK, another issue was the humps on the rear upper portion of the fuselage. To correct them I managed to cut them off and trim each one individually: Then I used Tamiya Epoxy Puty to form the humps' shape: To make the humps to be symmetric I just glued them together and then trimmed and sand to give them shape to meet what is shown on the drawing: Then that the humps are trimmed, I glued them where to be with the use of CA: That's all folk! :) I'll place more when I' m up for that.;) Cheers and happy modeling!

Eastern Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hello guys...er, and gals, of course. :) I think it's time to revive my thread and to refresh it by adding a couple of new pics. Some time ago I received four perfect resin copies of the intakes from Zactoman he cast using my master patterns. He generously made them for me. Thanks, Chris! One copy I used as a workpiece to make a substitution for Revell's in-kit intakes. Well, I think I'd better show the result ;) This is how they turned out. Not 100% correct but I think they are "good enough" to be a nice replacement for the in-kit parts. I intend to offer my new upgrade for Revell's Fulcrum and hope Zactoman will accept my offering enthusiastically. But now that the intakes are completed I'm thoroughly up for my AIM-9X project. Cheers and happy modeling! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Great progress so far,Alexander! Just as I mentioned before,please make those resin copies for us. And you'll be the savior!:( Cheers, Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 thoses are really great! (the lesser word i found) i also hope that they will be part of zactoman's offer to correct the revell's 1/32 mig-29... ...till you guys have done all the replacement parts... and then offer a full resin zactomodel 1/32 mig-29!!!!

Oh, I'm really puzzled... No, rather no than yes. Not me, sorry. :) Maybe just a couple more upgrades...unless some plastic manufacturer releases a newly tooled accurate beast.
