Actually I've finished it more than three weeks ago, but today made right photos. It takes me 3,5 months to build it - the kit is complicated - in the meantime I've built three other models. Report from building you can find here.

Model represents plane without a radar - they have different nose - not the characteristic one. In my plane there is a big mistake - stabilizers are glued with wrong angle (they should be more straight) - it is partialy due to my luck of skills and due to wrong kit (explained it in report from building).

I made opened air brake (my invention) as it looks better to me. Also made some changes and adds. Canopy comes from Gomix. Varnished it with the same varnish like in Typhoon, but much more watered - wanted to make it less shining.

Kit is quite good - everything fits well, a lot of details, good paper. But there is one big problem - too strong and unpleasent whatering made by GPM in this times (other examples: A-6 Intruder, F-4 E Phantom, P-47 Thunderbolt nr 150!!!, Sea Hawk and others). Luckily they stopped it now - but Mig-29 have about three quite different colours of whatering!

And some photos - for more please look at my site.
