First Look
Here is the first decal release from Lima, Peru-based Antarki Decals. In this set we have three nice subjects for the MiG-29SM/SM(P)/BM variants of the Fulcrum family. Take a look at this:
The seven subjects include:
- MiG-29SM(P), 034, Grupo Aereo No.6, Escuadron Aereo 612, Fuerza Aerea del Peru (FAP)
- MiG-29SM(P), 038, Grupo Aereo No.6, Escuadron Aereo 612, Fuerza Aerea del Peru (FAP)
- MiG-29SM(P), 040, Grupo Aereo No.6, Escuadron Aereo 612, Fuerza Aerea del Peru (FAP)
- MiG-29SM(P), 043, Grupo Aereo No.6, Escuadron Aereo 612, Fuerza Aerea del Peru (FAP)
- MiG-29SM, Bort 05, Belorus AF
- MiG-29SM, Bort 03, Russian AF
- MiG-29SM, Bort 07, Russian AF
The set comes on one sheet which also includes a false canopy for the underside of the nose, though the instructions don't indicate which aircraft carries this feature. In addition to decal placement, the instructions provide color guides using equivalent FS 595 and/or Testors Model Master paint numbers.
This is a nice first effort from Antarki Decals and I sure hope that they issue this set in 1/48 scale now that we have modern Fulcrums from Great Wall Hobbies!
