Here's a summary of this build:

Kit:
Hasegawa X-29

Modifications:
Aires Ejection Seat Aces II
Aires Nozzle F-404 (Hornet)
Custom made resin radom
Scratch ToT & Pitot (Plastic sheet n rods)
Scratch Guns (Injection needle)
Scratch Radar Warners (Plastic rods)
Scratch HUD (Plastic sheet and etched parts)
Scratch Chaff n Flare dispenser (Plastic Sheet)
Hasegawa AIM-9 Rails (from Hornet Kit)

P P Aeroparts Etched Store sway braces

Rescribing different areas (mainly guns section)

Tires: 1004 Tire Black --- Aircraft Colors

Exhaust: 1406 Exhaust --- ModelMaster

The whole project took me approx 5 months
Main difficulty was to keep symmetry while doing modifications and rescribing
The kit itself fits almost perfect. Air Inlets where a bit tricky.

Next projects are Swiss AF F-29C and McDonnell Model 60 (from Sharkit)  ;D

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

There's a german scale modeler with a nice "how to do it" description. If anybody wants to try and read it....  ;)

Awesome looking F-29! It looks like it's ready to take a bite out of another planes rear end. I've been looking to do something like that with my X-29, definitly need to get started on that now! Thanks for the great pics too!
