Curt B Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hi All, I am beginning my build of the 1/48 GWH MiG-29 9-13, and I plan to paint it in the Ukraine digital camo with various grey tones. From what I've been able to gather, Ukraine does not have the 9-13 variant, but the GWH plane is the best MiG-29 in 1/48, so I'm limited to that variant (though I also have a GWH MiG-29SMT, which I understand Ukraine also does not have). Any thoughts on what I'd need to do to the 9-13 to make it as close to a Ukraine MiG used in the current conflict? Also, I've read that the Ukraine MiG-29s have used a variety of, or modified, weapon pylons that can carry both Russian (R-27 Vympel) and western (US HARM missiles) weaponry. Any ideas on what, if any, pylons I can/should use, if different from the GWH kit pylons, and any other weapons Ukraine has used on their MiG-29s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curt B Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 (edited) Thanks, gents. I'd definitely read elsewhere that the Ukraine variants did not include the 9-13. I guess there are lots of sources out there, not all correct. Edited March 25 by Curt B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 There's two different pylon systems for carrying Western weapons. This is a good look at the pylon designed for bombs - it has been used for JDAM and the French AASM: https://www.twz.com/ukrainian-mig-29s-mysterious-jdam-er-pylon-our-best-look-yet The one for carrying the HARM is a two part affair that doesn't have that antenna probe sticking out. This article has a good picture of this kind close to the end: https://www.twz.com/ukrainian-mig-29-fighter-appears-with-mystery-weapon-pylons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
