Pride of the Slovetzian Peoples Air Force - 1/144 MiG-29

One of the the squares on my Hobby Bingo card for 2023 was to complete a plastic scale model kit. Fortunately I had an unbuilt Academy 1/144 scale MiG-29. While I have no compatible scaled gaming miniatures, it will probably do as a piece of terrain for 15mm (1/100 scale) Force on Force (or similar) gaming in the People's Republic of Slovetzia (they will absolutely need state-of-the-art fighter aircraft to deter any interference from America or NATO.

The pride of the Slovetzian Peoples' Air Force, a 1/144 scale MiG-29, with Battlefront Miniatures 1/100 scale infantry. (The scale difference probably won't be as jarring in tabletop battles with distance between figures and everyone focusing on the action).

NATO intelligence reports that they doubt the air-to-air missiles are fully functional.

National markings were hand-painted and turned out ok, if a bit rough. Unfortunately I had to re-do the area around the canopy due to a mistake with blu-tack while trying to protect it from Dullcote frosting (don't put blu-tack on painted minis, and seal plastic model kits before adding the clear parts).
