Duri CherryThe biggest issues are with the nose, which can be easily replaced by quickboost one and with the air intakes (they should be cca 1,5-2 mm wider), which cannot be replaced. Also jet exhaust diameter is smaller. There are also some other shape issues (don't remember everything).... Original academy interior is completely out (new resin could be fine), also jet exhaust should be replaced and weapon load - those rockets and pylons are very inacurate. I have 2 academy kits (9-12 and 9-51) and I spent lot of money for these detail sets and it will never look so good as GWH (I bought it before GWH release). Also building this kit is quite difficult. I am talking about original Academy kit. If you want really nice 29, buy GWH. I know it is expensive, but it is much much much better than Academy. It has no shape issues and it is much friendly to build. Maybe look if someone is selling it from 2nd hand. The only issue is with 9-51 (Mig-29UB) because there is only Academy release 🙁.
