NazaruddinHashim Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 wow bro! that was fast for 1/32 build! IMHO Something not right with the front nose shape, but I think it's was the kit fault, not yours.:} i'd double check an instruction.... think i'd fix it right thou....might be a mistake at the cutting point during the nose assembling ...i'll go through it again...thanks for the pointed bro MP....;) Regards Naza Quote Link to post Share on other sites

streetstream Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I don't know what has been said before and what has been PM'ed, but i want to make sure and point out that the back mig (with landing gear) on the top photo has its nosecone mounted upside down. On the subject of you current build: very nice. Almost makes me wanna give up on building one myself, because it will never be as good. Just a question, with all those add-ons, isn't your model becoming very expensive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi streetstream, My friend purposely borrowed an original Revell without any add on and modification stuff....as for me to do a comparison during the progress...the nose cone fix according to an instruction,that is how its look like without resin nose... I built it for my best friend, when he ask me about 1/32 Mig-29,I've no choice this the only kit available, and Zactomodel is the best correction set that i can suggested....roughly he spend about 600USD for kit+all Aftermarket stuff....as what he mention to me...

Regards Naza So the finished model is a OOB revell. But still, even with the shape being wrng, this one is mounted upside down, right? Now as for the price, damn that's high. 600 dollars. I enjoy this hobby also, but 600$ is more than i care to spend on one plane. I can't even bring myself to buy a 100$ one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed with you....the shape is too odd for OOB built...I'm not very sure about the nose cone thou...hopefully he fix according to an instruction...you are right so,its look in wrong position..... As for Zacto correction set its worth it, seriously...price we had pay including postage ...no doubt if we want it right,...we bough CAM as an out production price...1 of our friend willing to sold it at RM180/= 56USD....same goes to F4dable IFR probe...15USD....kit is about 80USD...dig it from our friend stash...scalenutz decal is also out of production price...recently we had order Begemot decal 32-003..that was a bomb...because of the postage as same as a decals..+ Eduard exterior and exterior.... Honestly...i will not go for this built if i've to pay for the total cost....i can't effort it dude.... ...that is how i share an experience with my friend who was eager to have Miggy in 1/32 displayed in their show case....so that i've a chance to feel the pain....:lol: Thanks for viewing StreetStream.....

Marcel111 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Naza, your Mig is looking awesome! Well done! Very clean fitting of all the resin updates, that must have been a huge challenge. Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kei Lau Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Naza, the model looks really good. Are the real Malaysian M-29N still flying? In 2009, Malaysia's defence minister Ahmad Hamidi stated publicly several times that Malaysia planned to phase out its MiG-29s at the end of 2010. He said Kuala Lumpur would decommission its MiG-29s because they are costing 260 million ringgit ($76 million) a year to maintain. But Ahmad's comments caught the attention of Dr Mahathir Mohammad, who was Malaysia's prime minister when the MiG-29s joined the air force fleet in 1995. Writing on his widely read blog, he noted that the aircraft are less than 20 years old and that other countries such as India still operate MiG-29s, and questioned why Malaysia would need to phase them out. There are many news articles on Asian Defence talking about the M-29N problem. The Malaysian were trying disposing them because this aircraft's are maintainance intensive, short engine service life & spare parts support is almost NIL. The engine needed overhaul every 200 hours of flight and had to be sent back to Russian. But eventually, Ahmad was forced to recant his anouncement due to political pressure and continue to pay the high maintenance cost. Link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
