MiG-29 Fulcrum Academy (modified with some scratch building)

 

added piece of plastic card as an instrument panel that is not included in the kit. 

enlarged engine intake openings from that toy like size to something more realistic 

Built some internal parts of landing gear bays. Hollow seethrough body wasn't so nice 

Detailed view of scratch built internal parts of body. 

also decided to make some internal engine parts. compressor wheels are painted in "Alclad II Stainless Steel" over Gloss Black base 

Mounted those compressor wheels inside 

I will leave intakes with variable flaps open so that compressor wheels can be visible. Its nice addition to the model.
