Here I have my newest roll-out for you, it´s a MiG 29 Fulcrum A of the German airforce, which they got from the former people´s army(NVA) in East-Germany (DDR) in 1989/90.

They got twenty single seater and 5 double-seater (the UB´s). But now to the kit itself, it´s the only MiG 29 model in this scale, it´s well detailed ,except the cockpit, there I used some PE-parts, some PE parts has been used on the rest of the plane, too. Fittings are very well, too, except the canopy, but there I´m going to find a solution to show it opened. Attaching the landing gear is little bit trickyand you have to put enough weight to the nose.

Building itself took a lot of fun and went straight forward, so we can now choose the way of painting this wonderful-styled bird. You can chosse between 3 versions, one russian(with shark mouth), one german-standard Norm 90J painting (the grey one ) and wonderful coloured anniversary bird. As you can see, I chose the last one, it shows the anniversary plane of the JG73"Steinhoff", which is now to be the first squadron in germany, which gets the Eurfighter Typhoon. The MiG 29´s were sold to Poland for 1,-euro per plane :(.

For the painting I used Revell, tamiya and some metalizer colours (Alclad II, testors etc) and did only a very light wheatering, cause these birds are mostly very clean. The decals are very thin, with a little MrMark softer you can handle them very easy .

So I hope you enjoy the pics of the german 40th anniversary MiG 29 , if you haver any questions, just feel free to mail me :) .
