riversphynxz Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Hi, this is my long overdue project (1/72 Fujimi Mig-29) which I shelved because of the complexity of the camouflage. Recently I said to myself, I can do this. I removed the previous masking and repaint the dark color first then re-masked it again. I took 2 hours each color to mask (6 hours now and running) and still need last color. Thanks for looking. Edited June 8, 2017 by riversphynxz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 love it. I am looking forward to seeing it after all the masking comes off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thegoodsgt Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 This is outstanding! I've always thought it would be better to mask this pattern than to use decals. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Surely a tedious job and will look great when finished, but I have to say (and I'm a real killjoy now, I know...) what a shame that the starting point itself - the Fujimi kit - is so off. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Nuts! I just finished my Trumpy 1/32 Flanker in Ukrainian Splinter Camo by hand masking and I'll elect NOT to do it again without cheating with pre-made masks or possibly decals. I can't imagine the tedious masking you are putting into this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riversphynxz Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Thanks for the crazy words guys. Janman; I'm not too fussed about the shape of the kit. It looked like a Mig-29, it must be a Mig-29 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Yeah, i am a bit confused why you choose Fujimi kit as it is old, very inaccurate and fairly obscure. I mean if you dont particularly care about accuracy that is fine, just combination of all of those things make it a bit odd choice. But excellent camo, hope you still have your sanity. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Proof the camouflage is effective, it hides the flaws of the Fujimi kit..... ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riversphynxz Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Updates: Exhaust and anti glare panel now painted and panel shadows done. Also tried to apply a light filter so all the colors blends to each other. thanks for looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riversphynxz Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) I decided to depict a possible future fighter aircraft of Philippine AF. I've used the logo pf the 6th TFS (circle) and added a full body cobra to make it more modern looking fighter. I've used a laser printer to print the decals. Few more bits and pieces, she'll be ready for a photoshoot! Thanks for looking. Edited June 16, 2017 by riversphynxz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
