December Group Build - MiG-29

Riveting with needle? Old good way

No,no! I use Trumpeter riveter, but every riveter makes too shallow rivets, so i need to use needle to make them more deep.

And... sand surface with 800 grit sanding paper to flat down edge around punch points

All right! I will do that. Thanks for advice!

[Sall]

I'm again in the game.
I sanded vertical part of tail with 800 grit sanding paper,as Srecko says.
I start to do rivets on wings. Also i had to re-scribe some panel lines... I finished right wing(upper side),and also sand it. And start work on left wing(upper side),but i'm to tired,so i left it for tomorrow.
Lower side i will riveted after i glue wing with fuselage... Maybe tomorrow-it depends of my obligations.

[Second Air Force]

More progress... 
Left wing is done(upper side),also horisontal part of tail(upper side). I had to fill and sand some panel lines,and to scribe new one on other place. Also all rivets on upper side is done.
Going forward on fuselage!

[No.1]

Very good! Fill the rivet on the round access door

[Sall]

  It will be done later today.

Hi there after a long period of absence.
Nice efforts in one of my favourite cold war planes.I have two of them and hope to start them once upon a time,wearing Begemonds BuAf or new Serbian roundels.Especially the new Serbian colour scheme,as Slovakian digital camo also are both very eye catching.
I had the chance to watch a pair of Bulgarian Mig-29,one single A and a two-seater trainner from GRAF IGNATIEVO Air Base live in the air, and on the ground when participated in the common exercise BRAVE HEART SOUTH 2008 co-operating with our F-16C/D from 330/341/347 Squadrons of the Hellenic Air Force in 111

A pretty big,lovely ugly,old but still reliable (though the initial A type needs much upgrates to keep up with the NATO standarts) will be in my next projects for sure.

[Sall]

Thank you Zetman!
This is my favourite plane ever,so i can't wait to see them!! Also hope that those kits will be in fully "Zetman standards"-with much scratchbuild!
When we can expect them?

[No.1]

Bulgarian have interesting camouflage so this will be great build for sure

My computer was busy,my sister use it,so i can't work on rivets,but i decided to make some progress tonight,and i work on rockets.
Sanding them, glue some parts,and put them on toothpick, also prepared to work on them tomorrow. 
I don't have power to fight with tiny rivets now,so in next few days i will work on other things on this kit...
One more thing-i'm not sure that i will use this 4xR-60 missiles from box,maybe i will use 4xR-73(i have 2,i need 2 more ) missiles,but i didn't decided yet. Anyway i will try to paint them,also wheels,and those tiny things,but plane i will painted at Srecko's place with airbrush!!
