I wanted to build this kit as soon as I got it a few months back so now seems like a good time to build it before I get bogged down with the next big build I hope to see a few of you popping in from time to time

I'm in and following Robbo.
The just needs some fitting and fettling I believe, it's a good kit that has been outdated a bit by newer kits. It you want a nice Mig-29 in this interesting camo you can't go wrong with this one at the price.

Guy these 1/72 jets are quite a good size compared to a 1/72 Spitfire
Paul I'm looking forward to the digi cam decals
Steve have you built one of these, if so you will be a big help, one of the club members just done one and has given me the heads up

I am really looking forward to this build, Robbo! I also am not familiar with ICM paints so no advice to offer.

Dilute with water eh?

I want to know, too, how their paint goes.

Post by SteveM on Mar 26, 2023 7:38:22 GMT
Ive never had much luck diluting with water, I think you need something that helps break the beading effect you can get when you use an AB. Something to do with the surface tension of water. I bought a bottle of Lifecolor thinner and that fixed the issue with thier paints and Humbrol.

I've got Tamiya and Vallejo thinners I'll be using one of them.
Good news, the paint is here, bad news, I'm going away for a week on Saturday so will start on my return
