Ladies and gents - miss Nora Polyansky!

Thanks! Sure it will standing version. Just finished with gear stands and doors. Wheels from kit are terrible so will go to local shop tomorrow for custom wheels for mig-29 and will finish them.

Hope to finish all works tomorrow and then will make a good photosession of details and whole model.

That MIG-29 is frakking sweet looking, and the canards.... very nice touch!! Keep up the great work.

Are you going Landing gear up or down with this one?

Thanks guys. Yes. I've used this screens as reference. Sadly it shows only for a few seconds and no more detailed info. About span wings - firstly i've made them smaller but really dont like how they look. This ones i like much more and the size looks ok. Photo was made by phone so it's adding some disproportion to shapes, little fisheye effect. But they are still a bit massive than on screenshot, yep.

For that stripes i've used decals from one of SV-51 kits i have. But it was hardest time ever to put them to Mig so better i should use masks. Next time i will.

Well, I'm assuming he's going off the ones from Macross Zero, and it doesn't look far off from this pic.

The ones he's got might be a little oversized, but it looks like the right placement.

By the way, I'm guessing the wing stripes are taken from the Nora SV-51 kit, but still doesn't decrease how impressive they look on that MiG. Honestly, that scheme is one of my all time favorite paint schemes on any plane, ever. I actually made a custom P-38 skin for IL-2 with that type of scheme, and it looks just as good there. It's just a very striking scheme to use, and I really don't know of many planes it wouldn't look good on.

It gets even better if you start swapping colors around. I think I did a version in blue with white stripes that was really beautiful too.

Nora Polyansky advanced Mig-29 color scheme was chosen. Painting progress photos. Have to finish with weapon pods, wheels, airbrakes and exhausts painting.

Currently working on 1/72 advanced version of Mig-29 from Macross Zero as shown in last 5 episode with additional front wings. As base I took kit from ICM. Actually i took two kits and first was completely failed because kit has good geometry but needs lot of putty, sanding and adjustments. I've replaced upper intakes with closed ones, cut of and installed flaps and slats down and ailerons up. Stabilizers were made movable, added details to cockpit and exhausts. Also nose were removed and added scratch build radar system. I've rescribed some panel lines and add rivets. Installed airbrakes from Aires.

I've mixed up tails but noticed it too late. So decided to leave them as they are.

Now working on addition wings, chasis, intakes and small details. Plan to color it in geometry camo and use decals left from SV-51.

I'd love to have one! What should i do?

i'm in!
