  INTRO

  This is my new collection and 2nd MiG 29 built. For this project, I use 1/48 Academy MiG-29A kit. 

  CONSTRUCTION

  The RMAF's MiG-29N is different with other fulcrums. The RMAF's fulcrum has fitted with an in-flight refueling probe (I think for single seat MiG-29N only not for MiG-29NUB) for this part, I use VFA Production resin IFR and the connector of IFR (fuel pipeline behind auxiliary air intake) I use a metal wires.
  Other modifications for this fulcrum is filling in slot for IFF antenna and ignore the IFF kit part. To replace and add some antennas I use a plastic sheet a sized like antenna fins as shown.
  For R-27/AA-10 missile, I cut off the frontier small fin and filling it.

  PAINTING

  For painting, I'm still used custom aerosol spray paint for my fulcrum. It's easy to find, simple and cheap. For previous built scales model, I bought all aerosol spray from a local hardware shop but for this fulcrum, to find the grey color like 'Air Superiority Grey' it not easy. Not all hardware shop has sold this color! For all around, I apply a Genting Dusk Grey no.42 (for anchor aerosol spray only). Hahaha.... I don't know what the people say but I believe this is a suitable color for my fulcrum. For exhaust, I used a mix-up flat black with Silver to get a Metal gun color. Before us, I washed and cleaned up my model in the soapy water to remove all greasy finger marks or all fillers chipper or dusk and after that, used masking tape to mask off the areas mostly cockpit, K-36 ejection seat, exhaust and others.

  DECALS

  I use VFA Production "1/48 Russian Connections" decal sheet. For applying decals first I cut the decal from sheet and dipped the decal in warm water for the seconds. After soaking for a few seconds, place the decal over the model and, using a soft brush to hold the decal in place, carefully slide the backing paper out from under the decal, taking care not to stretch the decal in the process.
  Do not be tempted to move the decal with your fingers because sometime the decal can sticky at your finger. Use a brush and plenty of water. Once in position, press down carefully and gently with a cotton bud rolled gently over the decal to get rid of any trapped air or bubbles.

  MISCELLANEOUS

  For ground crew and pilot, I use 1/48 Hasegawa U.S Pilot/Ground Crew Set B and paint following the RMAF airman crew uniform. All equipment for example missile carrier/missile lift, pilot ladder, rear wheels 'saddle' and IRST housing/cover (I don't know what the RMAF's airman crew call for this part) made with plastic card, metal and copper wires.
