  Malaysia 51th Merdeka Day Update

        Steve Bamford will insert full sized version of photo 01.jpg here 

  TUDM Mig-29NUB - M43-01

  This is my first attempt in building a TUDM aircraft, and I chose the Mig29NUB. As I was also trying to test my skill on camouflage painting, I decided to do the early version of TUDM's Mig29. 

  The kit is 1/48 Academy Mig 29UB , kit No AC2119. The only aftermarket item I added , is the decal, which is produced by ScaleNutz. Other than that, I build this kit right out of the box.

  Fittings are ok , just need to pay attention to certain areas, such as the nose. The nose is a two piece , which when mated, filling with putty is required to get rid of the seam line.

  This plane is a heavy tail seater , and weight must be added, and I mean lots of it. 

  The mating of the front section of the plane , to the main fuselage. After mating, I sanded it to even out the surface area. After that, putty is required to fill the small gap in between the mating area. After some sanding , and its done.

  Next, the mating of the wings to the main fuselage. I filled the joining point with Tamiya Putty, and then sanded it off.

  Final construction is on the tail. I left the air brakes open. 

  For painting, I used Hobby Color Acrylic , H308 + a bit of White , and H312 + a bit of White. Finished off the bird with light weathering , and a flat clear coat 

   

  Happy 51th Merdeka Day Malaysia.
