vivkulan Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Hello, I am back with one my favorite aircraft Mig-29A' model in Indian Airforce's 28th Squadron scheme. Kit :1/48 Academy MiG-29A Corrected Nose and Nozzle :From Ebay Aires cockpit and PE set Decals:Hi-Decals (Thanks to Don -Browning) Access Ladder, Towbar, Intake ,exhaust covers and IRST covers and the Ground support equipment -Scratch built with styrene, copper wire and sprue trees Figures:Monogram spares, Warsaw pact Pilot Base-ICM PAG-14 Soviet airfield plates and Photo frame. weathering: Oil paints,Pastels This build is special fpr me because there are lot of first tries in this build. This is the first kit I ever tried rescribing the panel lines. This is the first time I tried scratch building several features of the diorama. It was a very slow build, I started this kit last year same time and several other projects took priority over this. But any thing created slow will turn good is true here. I think i made an ok diorama. Please do let me know what you guys think. More pictures to follow Thanks Vivek Edited March 18, 2013 by vivkulan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fishbone Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 That's an absolute beauty!! Your ground support equipment definitely looks aftermarket on first glance! I recently posted an Indian Air Force MiG-29 in 1/144, so it's real exciting to see your excellent diorama here just a few days later!! Would love to see a detail close-up of the cockpit if possible. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of sanding and cutting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
