MiG-29A Fulcrum in 1/72 scale: a modeller's overview

The Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum emerged during the Cold War as a nimble, twin-engined fighter designed to answer Western air superiority types. Powered by Klimov RD-33 engines, the aircraft achieved high-speed performance, often cited near Mach 2.2, and became a mainstay of Soviet frontline units.

Construction and airframe characteristics

Notable MiG-29 traits include a broad, low-profile fuselage and twin vertical stabilisers, plus an internal 30mm cannon and capability to carry various air-to-air missiles such as the AA-8 Aphid. These elements combined to prioritise manoeuvrability and short takeoff performance.
