I have attempted these paints for the Mig-29's based at Kursk.

Can someone help me with the font used for the BBC POCCNN? I will have to flip the N's.

John

Interim solution.

Any interest?

John

Although I am not a painter I don't have any specific cyrillic font that you could use.

If nobody can help you here it might be worth contacting Mike Pearson as he has done several Russian models.

Thanks Steve.

I will sample the fonts I have. Arial narrow is almost there.

The reverse N's is a cut, flip and paste.

This is what it looks like so far. The other aircraft looks like a reverse pattern. One or two more other variations.

John

Is it of any use to use an online keyboard like here :- http://russian.typeit.org/

This is what I typed and was able to copy to here using it :-
ВВС РОССИИ

Here you go,
this is the one I have used for Yak-130

Thank you Steve and Miljan.

I will check them out tomorrow.

Hope to get them done over the weekend.

John

This is what I ended up with. DXT conversion scrambles it anyway.

Resorted to Airal Narrow, as large as I could. Flipped the "N" 's.
Then painted the shading to make it look like it was part of the font.

The web link was unusable because I could not put a white border around it or get it into Paintshop Pro.

This is a UB. If there are no objections, suggestions I will put fin numbers and Mig logo on.
The serial numbers seen to have been removed in recent times. "RF-1234".

John

WRONG PICTURE ABOVE.

Damn pesky of them to remove the serials.

Spot the difference.

I did in fact find a Cyrillic font at Simmerspaintshop. The link from Steve helped to decode it.

I use the font for the reg serials. I was unable to get a better result with the other lettering.

Almost done.

John

Just figuring it out. Got it to work. Now to get the change at the correct day. And better textures.

John

VEry nice. Good Job. And these textures goes perfectly on the SMT models (with a big top) by SBAI. So I'll use it in place of standart MiG-29.

After failing to add details to the berms, I have decided to upload the model with seasonal textures to the library.

John

Hello!
Is the SMT version available ?
Jacques

Not yet.

Miljan may have the source files. When he gets time it might become available.

John

I've beta SMT, and K from SBAI, but not definitive version.

Guys if I ever start work on mig-29 it will be from scratch. There are new techniques that I would like to incorporate into the model and are already used in some MAIW projects. Many things I want to change to SBAI model and I found out that it's better to start from 0

It's a very good new!!
