Here are some photo's of my latest project.  It is the Revell from Germany, 1/32nd, MiG 29 UB finished as the latest Russian Demo Team "Swift's".

The large swift on the top and bottom was masked off and painted.  The entire model was painted with Scale Coat II white.  Then masked for the red which is Scale Coat II, Santa Fe Red.  When the red was dry it was masked again for the blue, repainted white then painted with Scale Coat II, Santa Fe Blue.  These are gloss colors so no clear coat is required for decaling.

The stripping is decal.  The white came from an 8.5 x 11 sheet of white cut into strips 1/8" wide.  The silver decal was made by painting the left over white paper with Alclad II shinny Aluminum.  Works great just let it dry for an hour and your ready to go.

Decals were all hand made. The tail markings numbers and lines, were drawn on a computer using AutoCAD and printed 1:1 for a template. Then transferred to decal paper and cut out. 
 
Hope you enjoy, it was a fun project.
