niki4703 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Well done, Alex! Many, many thanks for sharing this! As far as the kit goes, I see that although the main gear legs are correctly tilted forwards, the airframe sits parallel to the ground and not 'laid back' as mostly seen: Can it be that the 'laid back' stance is connected to the amount of fuel present aboard (i.e. more fuel - aircraft with a bit of a nose high attitude; less fuel - airframe parallel to the ground)? Anyway, once again a big thank you for sharing your build! I'll have a couple kits once released :) Cheers, Niki Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Sidharta Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 No... no problems at all. Its fitting is very good. I used no filler at all except for eliminating seams. That looks good. Any problems ? Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Sidharta Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Hmmm... You are right, Niki. I didn't pay attention on the "laid back" position of the MiG-29. It could be my fault as I push the FLG oleo too far to the upper portion. But I think you can simply modify it to make your model a bit "laid back". Or other possibility is the MLG strut is too long. It will be much more easier to cut a couple mm to shortened it. Well done, Alex! Many, many thanks for sharing this!

Alex Sidharta Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I used Italeri Fulcrum's decal... That looks great! What decal brand did you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sgt1255 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Fine job. I think the MIG-29 is a bad looking bird. I have the GWH MIG-29 in my stash. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
