MIG-29N Royal Malaysian Air Force 

This is the MiG-29N R.M.A.F which is converted from the Tamiya kit. The main conversion are the resin probe (NMA) and the RMAF decals from (Decal la). The scheme of the MiG-29N is the all grey scheme.  This particular MiG-29N is based at the Kuantan AFB circa 2005.

The detailing on the aircraft was emphasized at areas such as the fuselage, rear after burner, cockpit panels and panel lines to give it a more subtle and realistic appearance. 

The diorama base for the aircraft is made using sandwich styrofoam and using modelling knife to carved the tarmac pattern to render and enhance the texture of the display base. Overall the kit and the modelling process was a fun experience and a satisfying built.
