Hi all , finally got round to the
decals today . The stars are from the frog kit sheet and the Bort number is from the spares box. I wanted to put stencils on too but there arent any on the sheet and no one does any in 1/32 .I'm not fussed about them being exactly right ,as long as they are the right colour (mainly blue) and are in russian it doesnt matter what they say , you cant read them anyway!! so I resorted to nicking some from the
Revell 1/32 MiG 29 UBT sheet , the ones i pinched are for the weapons pylons and I dont think i'm going to do it fully bombed up so its ok . Luckily there arent too many on the aircraft so I didnt have to nick too many. So off I went but DISASTER ! < the fricking star
decals broke up when they hit the water , the first few werent too bad just breaking into 2 or 3 pieces so I carried on but when I got to the last 2 (on the wing tops) they each broke into dozens of tiny bits !! as you can imagine my language was very colourful but I managed to piece them more or less together , I'll have to touch up the missing bits. The paintwork has had all the different shades applied to various access panels , ailerons and the nose and tail sections . The rest of the build is just the tiny details that take up a lot of time but in this scale are essential .heres the pics , cheers tony
