Interesting. Two different toolings of the 31 in the GB. Might provide some interesting comparisons.

Should do rob, though afaik there still isn't a great tooling available.

Anyway, box art

Sprues

Begemot decal sheet (aftermarket)

It looks a damn sight better than the Zhengdefu example that I have.

Great subject choice. It has to be the most sophisticated MiG ever made.

Love the 31!

Sorry Sir T, due to the fact I want to give this kit more attention than I can within a GB I'm shifting to a MiG-29, this one in fact

Should make a start tomorrow

Bit of work done now

Main fuselage together with fins dry fitted for test

Bit of fettling necessary to get them to fit

OOB cockpit (will be putting a Neomega seat in though)

Small amount of filler needed at underside join, most of the join is hidden under nacelles though

Silly step join at nose almost disappeared with no filler

Nacelles together. Outside joins are great, no filler. Inside joins needed a bit

Beginning to look like a MiG now

Thanks for looking

Nice progress so far. Really great looking plane the MiG-29.

Nice looking kit and nice progress mate!
Gotta love the Fulcrum!

Stuart · Post by **Stuart** » August 12th, 2015, 7:23 am

That's looking really great! Nice work!

Thanks guys, yes the Fulcrum is one of those aircraft that just looks right

Slow progress at the moment due to bad man-flu (2 weeks with no sign of going)

Main airframe complete and primed

Took the tailplanes off and cut the flaps to reposition them as they seem to appear once powered down

Great progress Kit. Of course, if your drooping the flaps you could go to the trouble of closing the auxiliary intakes.

I have a cunning plan for that Daz
