Thank you all :) aye it definitely looks like a mini Mig-29, from what I've read its a very multi purpose trainer, being able to mount Russian, Israeli and US (Aim-9 sidewinder) weapons !
Small update today, I thought of just decaling the instrument panels but the decal provided is off a little too much for my liking, with Tamiya light blue and flat black applied by brush, progress so far. After the initial light blue and application of the panels I applied a little lighter version of light blue (just a little white added) and finished it up by a little flat black added to light blue in order to vary the hues in the cockpit.
Only negative to masking is if It goes off a little and of course you seem to notice after everything is done, I'll fix up the panels a little this weekend as I can see one or two that aren't perfectly straight. The Front is good but needs some fixing in that area and a little carving on the bottom of the panel to get the shape in lign, the model's panel doesn't match the outline of the actual aircraft.
The rear panel came out a little better and just one little panel fix is needed.
Thanks for checking out the progress so far, slow and steady
