My Mig-29 refinish is complete and i'm very happy with the results. All the stock panel lines were filled and redrawn with a pencil to give a much better scale outline. I also added hundreds of rivets and weathered it up a bit. I love all the details but have to say those printed wheel covers are probably one of my favorites. The most tedious part was painting the exhaust nozzles, getting that "hot metal" look is challenging. There are 5 different colors on the hot sections alone! I want to give a big thanks to The RCgeek for the centerburners and Duc Cde for sharing the wheel cover print files!
Now that's what I'm talkin about, outstanding work. Is that a JHH "Castle 5" pilot bust, maybe a 1/10th scale (or something else)? :first_place:

I like the way the eyes are drawn from front to back by the red and yellow highlights which will help no end in the air.

So, I am insisting on the smoke thing on the Gripen... I tried red smoke this time and it works so much better than white!
Now finally can see it against most of the sky and not just dark backgrounds!
Simply outstanding cockpit and pilot, especially love the maps!!:first_place:
Thanks Hugh, and yes, for some reason these tiny detail seem to make the plane/cockpit to look more realistic, so a map, a pack of cigaretts, family pictures on the dashboard or a flower can do the trick, simply makes modding more fun.
thank you, and yes why not, i should have taken some pics of the cockpit outside, much better light...
If you like to see a little bit more about the build check out my mod video of this plane, build it like 7 or 8 years ago, and it still flys super smooth :)...
WarbirdFan66 outstanding, how 'bout a few close up shots of the cockpit.

Thanks so much f4u ausie! A Zero would be just as fantastic for sure!

not a jet, and not big either, but one of my favorites... here a few pictures of my older PZ 1100mm FW190 A8 in a nightfighter scheme, complete with lights, split flaps, oleo legs and full cockpit build...just in case you are tired of seeing jets all the time
Seaharrierman - that looked like a really nice event. I've been to only a couple of Heli Fly-Ins but its nice to see a bunch of them like in this video. So many cool looking platforms, thanks for sharing
Here in the UK we only managed one Scale Helicopter Event. The Red Lodge Scale Helicopter Fly In september this year. One of the pilots did this wonderful montage. I the only thing is it doesn't show just how windy it was 18-20 MPH gusting to 30MPH but us cray brits still flew
