Mig-29UB
Here is Heller’s Mig-29UB. It is quite good both in fit and shape. I had already built the Airfix single seater, and when I got this from a friend, I thought that I will make one of those infamous Moldovian Mig-29UB for which I have two decal sheets. It stands out among all the camouflaged migs and sukhois in the display cabinet. Colors are my approximation and I don’t know how accurate they are of course. I masked the fin roundels position when airbrushing the dark blue so that the demarcation line would not show through the decals.

Beautiful job, Gordon…..looks to be a 72nd scale from the paint can (?) – nice job on the paint scheme.

Hi Craig, Yes you’re right it’s 72nd scale as all my other aircraft models. Thanks for the comment.

It looks really cool, Gordon, I couldn’t believe it’s 1/72 until I saw the Humbrol paint tin in the photograph.

Very nice work. Great detail considering (or not) the scale.

Very nice work. I remember seeing one of these in Ukraine markings at an air show here in S. Calif. about 20-odd years ago. The work on the paint scheme makes it really stand out.
