Watching - is this kit worth the build?

Capt - It's pretty old (2008) and a bit wonky (icm in their early days copied others). I think there are better MiG 29's in this scale. But this one came out at the beginning of the war and proceeds went to supporting the war effort, so I thought that was a cool gesture.

I only built the Hasegawa mig-29 in 1/72, not where as detailed as your detailing kits though. ICM seems to make a lot of well regarded kits, but I haven't had a chance to work on one yet - maybe I'll try thr OV-10 kit. Thanks for the feedback, can't wait to see how your build turns out!

Primed the cockpit and chair yesterday. Had a bit of a whoopsie with some dust getting caught in the primer. Also assembled the resin exhausts. They don't fit perfectly, will have to do some filling... they look good though.

Don't forget to add the iPad to launch the HARM's 😉

Tony, I thought about it. I don't think I can do a nice enough job on that though.

🍿ready for an interesting build

Did quite a bunch of work yesterday including start of riveting, and the attachment of the wings (which aren't quite symmetrical... I'm looking for tips with regard to this!)
