This
is my Academy Fulcrum A, painted in Yugoslav Army colors. The kit features a
resin and photo etch cockpit from Aires, the avionics bays are sculptured on it,
so I did some surgery on the kit to show them open. The
decals are borrowed from the ACA MiG29UB kit, so the
Bu. Number is not accurate (Bu 302 is an UB, Bu 112
is an A model), but they looked real good to me so I took some artistic license
here.
The
wheel wells were enhanced by adding tubing and hydraulic lines. The wheel struts
have oleo lines added to them made of plastic and wire tubing. Paint
used was Model Master Enamels, Fulcrum Gray and Gray green, camo was done free
hand with my Pasche Millennium Double action
airbrush, nose radome and dielectric panels were
painted Tamiya Dark Gray. Weathering was done using well sharpened pencils, a regular 2HB for the bottom, and an artistic pencil Sepia color for the top. Decals were added then. It was gloss coated with Future.
Special
thanks go to the ARC regulars because all techniques used here were learned from
this web site, I used the Tips and Tools section extensively, and posted
questions on the discussion board that you were kind enough to answer. I
had a lot of fun with this build and I hope you like it as well. Next
up is a Russian Aggressors White 01, already painted and decals set, am working
on the finishing touches and it will be forwarded to Steve for posting. http://www.geocities.com/sadesa/El_Sharko.html
