Since we have a new great kit in the market (GWH) I wanted to build the Academy kits which I had in stock.  The first one as some of you may recall was the Iranian MIG29 (also submitted to ARC a while ago) the second and the last is finished as an Azeri MIG29.

This is to commemorate the name of Snr. Lt. Vagif Kurbanov who stole! a SU25 from the AFB near Baku in April 1992 and raided the Armenian strongholds and downed a MI28 till he was shot down only 65 days after the beginning of his adventure on 13/06/1992.

I used MM colors for the camo and AeroMaster 1264 undersurface blue grey.  Nozzles are Mr.Hobby metalizers.

Decals are Begemot decals which I believe is a great bargain for price vs choice.  You can build more than 50 a/c for only 20 something dollars :) 

I used Aires cockpit set, Quickboost radome, Quickboost FOD covers, Master pitot tube to make the model look nicer.  I hope I achieved that.
Not perfect but good.
Thank you all.
