Global Scale Modeller

Hi This is my entry for the ' From Russia with Love'
Tamiya/Italeri Mig 29 1/72 that arrived this morning

After some delay I started teh Build of this Mig-29 Tamiya- Italeri







Suggested colors from Tamiya but i don't agree


Some dry fitting for the cockpit and and some gaps are appearing












I had to re-scribe all the panel lines because they looked a bit too soft,






test of how should look when put it together.


using Super Glue to fill and some of those gaps










the Air intakes of the engine are nightmare not only the have gaps on the sides but have huge gape and a step


A little of perfect plastic putty to do the final touches






Some real sanding and hard work i manage to get those suckers level and perfectibility smooth

really proud of that

Wow, that's a lot of work! Sanding, filling scribing, all the horrible stuff that come with our hobby, unless you like doing it Anyways great job turning a not so great kit into something respectable.

Thanks Sturm Still a long way from the final goal.
However i am happy how is proceeding to be honest is not that terrible kit, just need some extra TLC

Really nice work with this kit, looks like it needed lots of extra attention and you've conquered the worst of it

thanks OliveDrab, the model is not that bad but yes it need some extra TLC
Some extra sanding was needed.







e re apply the primer

Disaster

Heres some more updates on the MIG 29, had to correct some mistakes with the airbrush and complete the paint of certain areas

Decals are now done.

So the Aqua Gloss is now dry let it dry for 3 days.
Now i am ready for the panel lines which thanks to Ultimate Dark Dirt and Concrete mixed together i lighten up the Dark Dirt.

and some more little progress.




some lending gear detail.
