Very nice Borg! I coated the decals with Microscale Liquid Decal Film just to be safe.BorgR3mc0 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 11, 2025 7:52 am I have build the same kit. A very nice kit and it really does do the X-29 justice. But as you say , the decals are the main difficulty. They are large and need to be straight on the fuselage.
My build:
It is over twenty years old because I remember that I paid 10 Guilders for the kit.

Re: Hasegawa 1/72 X-29
I've been cleaning up some parts that I forgot to take care of on the X-29. Mostly the landing gear. Pretty much ready for paint now.

Re: Hasegawa 1/72 X-29
Great to see this one back on the bench. I bought one of these when I saw you start this build - part of my X-planes budding collection.
Looking forward to paint!

Thanks guys! Work and other obligations have kept me from painting it. Hopefully soon.
