1/48 Academy MiG-29A Fulcrum

Gallery Article by Pawel "Vodnik" Krupowicz

 

My model is a replica of Polish MiG-29A "Red 67" from 1st Fighter Regiment (1 Pulk Lotnictwa Mysliwskiego) "Warszawa" from Minsk Mazowiecki in 1990 - shortly after its delivery from USSR in 1989, still in original Russian camouflage and with minimum weathering. It is armed with two R-27R and four R-60M missiles (all missiles are 100% scratchbuilt - note correct size of my R-27R missiles!). Following aftermarket products were used: Aires - resin cockpit set, Eduard - photoetched set, Part - photoethed exhaust nozzles, Hi-Decal - some decals, Cutting Edge - part of mermaid decal.

I printed most of the decals myself, including all blue stencils, most red stencils and "red 67" - only national insignia and some stencils came from Hi-Decal sets, while mermaid (only yellow parts) were cut from Cutting Edge set.

There is A LOT of modifications and scratchbuilt details added to the model - if you know the original Academy kit you will easily spot them. For more information about these modifications and for more detailed pictures of my model, please visit my web page here: http:\\www.vodnik.republika.pl.
