Great work Ronan, she's a beaut!!! Colors look right on to me. I am glad you didn't over-weather yours like I did on mine LOL

One question Ronan: did you shorten the undercarriage? I and Christian Wermuth disscussed the undercarriage in his Mig-project. It look´s that Trumpeter did it too long... On your pics I can´t see that problem

Yes Harry, the main gear legs are shorten 2 mm and the nose leg 1 mm😉

Super. Just ordered MiG-29SMT at shop for myself
PS: What kind of paint have you used ? and colours ?
14 March 2018, 08:12

Paint used is Gunze Mr color
Dark grey : h337
Light grey : h417
white-grey : white with a drop of h308 ratio : 5/1
Note : in the trumpeter kit the central fuel tank is not good for a SMT, i've took the zvezda one that is larger than the trumpeter ( good only for mig-29 (9-12), ub and (9-13)... )

Hello Ronan, another great model!
I would like to ask about the color codes. Where did you find those codes? Are personal estimation?
Do you know anything about these AKAN sets? Are they proper?

I don't remember seeing the Mig 29 having this hump back, but perhaps there is a fuel tank there having been added to the design with time.

Nicely done! I was tempted to think that this was a 1:48 scale kit. 🙂

That's the SMT version, it's only used in the Russian air force and not sold to foreign customers.

@Aris : the color codes are personal of course.
For the AKAN sets , i've tested one for my SU-34, and the colors are very good but the paint is very fragile and not easy to spray... in my opinion😉
Merci Pierre

Thanks @Ronan and @gtiery.
The acrylic 7x AKAN colors need to be thinned with water and retarder to give you good flow.
After digging my refs i found some bookmarks about the AKAN SMT colors:
