KursadA Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have been working on a new MiG-29 sheet for a while - it will have some interesting schemes, and will most likely be the next installment in my "Global Air Power" series of smaller, simpler sheets in both 1/48 and 1/72 scales. More details this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomcat_ct Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 How about a Romanian Air Force? I would be glad to help you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) How about a Romanian Air Force? I would be glad to help you. The options I have drawn are Bangladesh, Bulgaria, India and Myanmar; both single and twin-seaters (*). I don't want to increase the number of colors (and therefore the cost) any more, but Romania is possible. If the blue in the Romanian roundel is close enough to the blue of the Myanmar roundel; I will add Romania. Please e-mail me at "info AT caracalmodels.com" with references/info if you can help. (*): Yes Virginia, photos of Myanmar Mig-29UBs do exist. Edited January 14, 2013 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I just added Romania to the sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rustywelder Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Very nice! I love that Bangladeshi camo. I will definently pick up a copy of the 1/72 sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomcat_ct Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I just added Romania to the sheet. During the service the MiG-29A and UB where never painted! They came in Russian standard camo (same as the Bulgarian) just number 75 receive new paint job in 2001, but after he was retired for service. Number 54 depict in the profile was the last to be received (1993) as attrition replacement after nr 47 burned on 9.9.91 and the last to fly April 2003 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Here is a first draft; I will keep refining this through the next couple of days and draw accurate profiles to go with them. I can't add any new options at this point, this is the size I was targeting. The final list of options are: -Mig-29A 9-12 "36507" , Bangladesh Air Force 2011 -Mig-29UB 9-51 "28264" , Bangladesh Air Force 2011 -Mig-29A 9-12 "KB715" , Indian Air Force 2008 -Mig-29A 9-12 "30" , Bulgarian Air Force 2010 -Mig-29UB 9-51 "14" , Bulgarian Air Force 2010 -Mig-29A 9-12 "2708" , Myanmar Air Force 2011 -Mig-29UB 9-51 "2716" , Myanmar Air Force 2011 -Mig-29A 9-12 "54" , Romanian Air Force 1996 -Mig-29UB 9-51 "23" , Romanian Air Force 1996 Edited January 16, 2013 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rustywelder Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wow Burmese bird as well!? awesome. I know this has no bearing on your sheet but I wonder if maybe you might know off the top of your head, are the national markings for the Bangladeshi and Burmese migs any where close to the same size as what is on both nations F-7s?

Gripen39 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Please don't forget the 1/72 scale Pakistani and late block international F-16s!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I will definitly be getting the 1:72 version of that sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I shall be surrendering more moolah for a 1/72 sheet of this subject...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I am working on optimizing the layout of the 1/72 sheet and will be done shortly. Both the 1/48 and 1/72 sheets will be available at the same time. I know this has no bearing on your sheet but I wonder if maybe you might know off the top of your head, are the national markings for the Bangladeshi and Burmese migs any where close to the same size as what is on both nations F-7s? Good question - I don't know the answer though. I'm working on a sheet exactly like this one for the MiG-21F-13, and can take a look later to see if the roundels are the same size. I will definitely have these F-7 markings on a sheet if and when there is a proper F-7B (and above) kit is available though, there are some irresistible F-7 schemes out there.

KursadA Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 CD72012 will be the 1/72 version of this sheet; also available in mid-February. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stenkabg Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It is nice that you are doing some Bulgarian MiGs. But you have to add a very important element which is neglected by all decal producers. All Bulgarian Airforce aircraft have ID triangles with two numbers in them on both sides of the aircraft. The upper number is the number of the type in the inventory and the lower one is the serial number of the aircraft. Here are some pictures which include the bort numbers you plan to produce.

I saw these while doing the design work and wondered what they were. I will go ahead and add these to the sheet today; and update the pictures. I can't quite read the serial for "14" though: the first line seems to be "51" (for 9-51), but the second line is not very clear.

KursadA Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Done - I will add these and rearrange the sheet once we figure out what the serial of "14" is. From the photos I have, I estimate the base of the triangle to be 250mm on the real aircraft. Edited January 16, 2013 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stenkabg Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks! The number for the 14 looks like 51/8849. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Done. The images above should have been updated. Thanks for helping me improve the sheet - over only two days we've added a new country to the sheet and improved the details for another. I think this is how decal design should work.

stenkabg Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Me bad. I've looked through some more images of the white 14 and it looks more like 51/8945. Sorry, but it is difficult sometimes to read them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks, I will correct it in the final design. Like the previous (North Korean/Iranian) MiG-29 sheet which will be out in 1/32 scale in February, I will scale this sheet up to 1/32 as well. It will most likely be an April release.

stenkabg Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Why don't you add bort no 30? It has very attractive 4 A-10 "kill" markings on the left fin. They were "downed"in one flight during an exercise in Bulgaria. If you need an image I can provide you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I have seen those A-10 kill marks during my research, and that was the aircraft I wanted to do. But I could not find out the bort number - until now. I will replace 24 with 30 tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
