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.
Very nice Borg! I coated the decals with Microscale Liquid Decal Film just to be safe.

Back in the pre Euro days?
That looks very nice!

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.

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.
