TAILED BANDIT)
This model depicts the Royal Malaysian MIG-29N from squadron 17 of the RMAF with the distinctive blue tailed markings hence earning it the nick name "blue tailed bandit" This scheme
was use during the LIMA airshow in 2011 with its intention to celebrate the RMAF 53rd anniversary of service to the nation. The model kit used in this project was Tamiya's MIG-29 scale 1/72.
Resin parts from "NMA" & decals from "Decal-La" were applied to the model to enhance its accuracy in terms of design version and markings. Overall the model was intended to rusty and a bit weathered to create a sense of realism.
