Man flu still there but slowly improving thanks. The plan involves a modest amount of scratch building, very modest amount ;-)

Nice work kit. Despite being an older kit, it looks pretty good. Certainly more dimensionally accurate than Fujimi's -29.

I would definitely agree. I sold my Fujimi Fulcrum on the bay as it only resembled a MiG-29. :???:

Great work going on here Kit.

Started the decal work now, considering their age, not performing too badly. Also started painting a Pavla PTB 1500 centre-line tank as you rarely see a -29 without one and you don't get any tanks in the kit

Great work. The tank will certainly add some authenticity. I have read that the early Fulcrum's lacked range.
I wish my build was going as well! :???:
