1/48 Academy MiG 29 Fulcrum A

Here is my Academy 1/48 scale MiG 29 Fulcrum A. It took my about two months to get all the necessary items I needed for this Slovak Air Force MiG 29 from Sliac Air Base. I used the Aires cockpit set, Quickboost correct nose and also Eduard exterior photo etched set. I chose the original soviet camouflage which is applied on some Slovak MiGs, so I used Model Master Fulcrum gray and Fulcrum green Gray paint. Plus brand new Tally Ho! decals, which was released this spring, was used for this Slovak "Tiger".

I decided to open the air brake where I added some hand made details like hydraulic hoses. I closed upper jet intakes,  because I did not find any photo etched replacement and those in the box did not seem to me to be in scale. I used dark wash for panel lines and some little dry brush in front of the canopy and in cockpit. 

I did not arm  my "Tiger", cause it is very rare to see Slovak MiG with  anti-aircraft missiles.
