This arrived in the mail this week.

By building this, and planning to throw a little AM at it, I'm hoping another manufacturer will release an up to date version (I'm aware of the LionRoar version, but am not paying out US$60 plus delivery)

I've got a small dio planned out using this along with a AFV Club Sd.Kfz.11/4 Nebelkraftwagen

I believe I still have some nice photos of these from when I used to work on the Farnborough Airshows in the UK, I used to get special passes etc which gave me good close ups etc. If it's the one I think it is I have one that is in a nice Turquoise colour scheme. Will stick one up here (so to speak) and if it is a Mig 29 I'll add the rest to the image library.

So is this a Mig-29? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Russian Fighters (and a heap of other stuff

)

I've got a couple more of this one if you want them.

Used to love being at Farnborough on trade days, there were hardly any people wandering around and you could get up close to the exibits.

Yeah, the modern Russian jets look awesome, especially in some of the more exotic schemes they get painted in by the former Soviet counties.
