Hey guys,

Iv built up a mig-29 and spent quite some time painting it. Its a static model as the thermocol i used is very weak fragile and low density. My tenant had shipped some household appliances from pune and i decided to put the thermocol to use instead of throwing it away.

Il let the pics do the talking

Part 1: Plan and cutting sections.

Part 2:  Initial Assembly

Part 3: Assembled mig and stensiling for paint.

Part 4: Painting

Part 5: Final assembly, glueing, touchup paintwork and detailing. My books helped a lot. I would suggest Computer Communication Networks By. Fuorouzen. Nice and heavy

Part 6: MIG-29 FULCRUM - C  completed

All paint work was done using fabric paints with a paint brush - no spray paint.

Hey stiggy Your Mig-29 looks awesome!! How come you've cut out the hole for the prop? Any plans of making the model non static??

Thanks dude I cut it out with the idea of flying it but later realized its too week. The opening keeps my options open in the future

Iv used the "Mig-29 Strizhi" paint scheme as shown in pics below

Yea.. I guess a little carbon rod here and there should make it flyable That Mig-29 Strizhi  looks beautiful..

I saw a mig 35 in similar paint scheme at the airshow Not the same pattern. It looked and sounded AWESOME!!! So did the su, f-18 and others

Nice one Rajath. 
I'm sure we will have a Mig in our skies some time soon..   

Looks awesome......the paint scheme is gr8 !!!

it looks great

Thankyou guys   Had to do quite a lot to keep the thermocol balls in check. The entire periphery is taped and painted over the tape.

That is one beautiful bird! If nothing else, please allow her to fly as a glider..........

Thanks VC.

It looks too good buddy!! too bad it wont be let free in the skies!!

hey bud nice model... I like it. I know thermocoal is not flyable alone as its very delicate.. I would use a very light weight celo tape everywhere to give it strength. You remember the way I did on the piper's wing. transparent wide tape should be good to give it strength and make it little heavy as well. An EDF in the back will give it enough power to cut through skies... lets meet sometime, this weekend was hectic

PS. I saw colored celo tapes in vignan nagar.. I will post the review of them soon as I get them tomorrow.

Ya sure. Come and have a look so il know it its flyable. Waiting for my radio- should get it in 20 days.

Thats a cool paint job rajath 

@control and sundaramvelar: Thanks guys

Beautiful model man  .As others suggested,convert it to rc.It will be awesome to watch it fly.

"Some say,the Stig is an air force pilot for the Russians and that he is an avid modeler."

Haha thanks bud. Il let vikas have a look and see if i can fly it.
