After making the Airfix MiG-29 9-12 three years ago,the new released ICM9-13 is always attracting me.

So finally I chose to begin with it,with lots lots lots...of aftermarket accessories.

The biggest problem of ICM kit is the same with Italeri kitâ€â€Ã¢â‚¬â€wrong shaped windshield and canopy.

I made the master and my friend vacformed several for me.

But unfortunately I failed too many times so this one you can see on the fuselage is the lst one.

Once again,I cut it too much and had to increase the height by plastic card from beneath.

This time I want to make canopy movable so the fitting issue is very important.

Cockpit is covered with PART PE "armors",and as usually,the fitting is quite bad......

Control panel is extremely difficult to fit into the fuselage......I still have no confidence to fix the problem so I would paint these parts at first.

K-36DM ejection seat from my friend's home made copy,with some junk PE parts.

So that's the beginning.

well you have a lot of work ahead of you.i like this and i cant wait to see the painting.i am intrested in the markings?will this be a strizi bird or some operational worn and torn mig?

Yes,I have recognized that......

Part PE set really fits s*ck.....just like last time I used on Mi-24 and MiG-31.

Well,I think I will make it an RusAF operational bird,maybe the one named after HSU again.

What's your idea,guys?

Someone told me that Part PE isn't designed to be integrated to a particular kit. Measurements or pics of 1/1 scale thingies are taken and Part reduces them to 1/72. No integration done so that's why fit is, er, interesting.

Part PE set, despite the bad fit, looks like it will bring the model to a whole other level... Can't wait to see the pit painted!

I have two coloured PE sets for 1/72 Fulcrum

Edmodels ERU72002 (for this ICM 9.13)

Bílek PB013 (for Bílek/Italeri) http://www.bilek-eshop.cz/en/search/mig-29...-lepty-mig-29-2

both are made by Eduard

I see.Then this could explain the bad fitting issues.

I have to seperate one PE parts into several...... :monkeydance:

That scheme si exotic!

But since my MiG-31 and Su-27 are all in RusAF scheme,so I'd like to make it a Russian bird.

Would you mind take photos of the EDmodels set?

I have their MiG-25PD from a friend on ARC.

I used Eduard MiG-29 PE in my last built of Airfix MiG-29,which is OOB right now.

And that one looks quite familiar with Bilek's.

MiG-29 from Kokaity was left to Uzbek AF, and anyway there is not any authentic information about camaouflage spots on upper surfaces of BuNo 44. Sometimes it used with overpainted red stars, later it was repainted during overhaul at L'vov ARZ.

If you like 4-coclours Mig-29 probably better make BuNo 08, it was donated from 115-th Fr (Kokaity) to MiG bureau, later repainted in yellow-black demo scheme and crashed at Fairford during two MiG-29's crash.

But i'm more like grey-green MiG-29's schemes.

It looks like EdModels is a label of Eduard for the Russian market: the PE and instruction sheet are made by Eduard.

Yes, both EDmodels and Bílek MIG-29 colour sets are designed by Eduard as oem product.

There are two older Eduard Fulcrum sets:

- Eduard Zoom SS183 (2002, for Italeri kit): http://www.eduard.cz/products/pdf/nss/ss183_1.pdf and http://www.eduard.cz/products/pdf/nss/ss183_2.pdf

- Eduard 72006 for Italeri - old set from early Eduard days, maybe 1991

Another Czech company Extratech did EX72058 set for Airfix or Italeri kits: http://www.modelsforsale.com/listphotos/EX72058.jpg

Masking for both inner and outer side of windshield/canopy.

As the sealing material is actually applied from inside canopy,so that's why I masked inside too.

Here I sprayed the yellow-brownish white for seal material from inside canopy firstly.

Heating slices on windshield are also sprayed after cockpit colour is applied.

And of course,once again from inside.

Back mirrors painted.

Actually they were on one PE part but I just cut them alone for assembling conveniece.

And it was only after the control panel applied,I can add the cover above it by Evergreen 0.14mm plastic sheet.

After painting,apply the HUD with some addtional parts and wiring needed.
