International Scale Modeller

So finally finished it, fantastic kit, one of the best ive build.

Build thread is here http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?f=133&t=2352

Akan paints are just awesome, the nicest acrylic to airbrush by far, and the faded look to the paint work is brilliant, well happy with how that turned out.

The ultimate dark dirt wash worked wonders on the panel lines and landing gear.

Decals i counted them, over 325 altogether it was along slog but worth it.

The "runway" base was a last minute decision yesterday, glad i did it now as it makes a more interesting photo

Lots of photos a mixture of canopy up and down

Lastly the ordanance on this kit is superb, really makes the kit just that little bit better

wow mate you should take that to telford it would wipe the floor with every thing thereb mate it is TRULY STUNNING
love it you are the master

Now that's tidy. The base/scene shows it off to good effect too.

Marvellous!

Great Scott, Paul!

This is amazing! Great finishing and great build!

Cheers,
Radek

Cheers guys, ive just changed the pics as the other were a bit washed out

Excellent mate

simply awesome

Amazing beauty

Oh my awesome doesn't come close

This is one of those finished models that blows my mind and gives me great inspiration, the fact you produced a superb build log means building a model of this quality is tangible and can be done by other mere mortals.

Well done, you must be very pleased

It's not mate no, I never dip my canopies (I should start really) just a good quality kit

Super job Paul, a real dazzler. The paint work is fantastic

wow!!
What else is there to say other than.. I retire.


Without a doubt Paul... Your best piece buddy.
This is first class... And it's OOB.

Probably one of the best builds of the year dude!

Great, lovely, awesome. Looks fantastic.

Fantastic job dude.

Love it paintwork looks great.

And the base really sets it off nicely.

I was wondering if Klear has a longevity...I mean, If a canopy was dipped as many do, does it last?...after all it is a varnish and some can yellow or crack with age. Has there been any reports of this?...with a superb canopy as this one...how awful it would be to find out later that a mistake had been made if it was dipped,

Still drooling over the model....

That's a real beauty Paul. Looks amazing, the colours are spot on. I can just imagine it taxiing out onto the runway in those pics! Nice base too, did you make it or can you buy that stuff?

Brilliant build mate, well done!

I think you can buy them, but i made that one, i show it being made in the build thread

Thank you for the offering " Oh Lord Model God"!

Seriously, this thing is awesome. Great work!

As others have said Paul, its fantastic. I really like how you got the camo and preshading working together. That and the metallics on the engine exhausts are what caught my eye . Top drawer mate stuff

Sigh, I could look at that all day.

Cheers Paul, I'll check it out. I'll be needing something similar in the future.

Superb work, boss! The build, the paintwork, the weathering, the decals (the patience!) are all just fantastic!

Thanks phil

Perfect work !
Very well done mate !

Really awesome Paul, im at a loss for words, with your builds it's getting hard to tell the difference between the real deal and the kit..

Thanks fellas

Wow wow wow!!!! Simply awesome mate!! Take a bow.....

The Mig 29 is pretty much my fav modern jet, exquisit work my friend! i like the paneling in particular, it adds also a nice weathered look.
