GWH 1/48 Mig 29AS "Digital Camougflage"

After completing the build of this Mig 29AS, I put it on open display to examine for possible flaws. In no time, a giant mantis flew in and settled on the model. I promptly took a photograph and returned the insect back to the wild. I [...]

Oh my... was this a bit of a bas*ard to build... From missing part to having to reshape the entire wing sections in order to make it fit, i totally underestimated this kit, and the length of time it would take to make it perfect. This led [...]
