This is a Burmese (Myanmar) Air Force MiG-29, 10 of which were purchased from Russia as of January 2011.  This aircraft was built out of the box with the addition of Eduard MiG-29 Fulcrum interior photo-etch parts, and an Avionix resin ejection seat.

Tamiya paints were used and mixed to get as close a match to the blue shades depicted on the actual aircraft. I had to mask and paint the insignias on the plane as I could not find 1/32 scale decals for the Myanmar Air Force. 

Overall the kit was adequate, though would expect more detail in the cockpit, wheel wells, and engines based on the cost of the kit.  Thank you for the interest.
