The Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum rose to prominence during the Cold War as a lightweight, high-performance fighter intended to complement heavier interceptors. With twin Klimov RD-33 engines, the aircraft was capable of sustained high speeds near Mach 2.2 and offered strong short-field performance.
Key features include a squat, wide fuselage, twin fins and an internal 30mm cannon. The Fulcrum could carry a range of air-to-air missiles, including the AA-8 Aphid, which gave it a credible weapons fit for air combat tasks.
The Italeri 1/72 MiG-29A kit balances accurate lines with an approachable parts layout. It suits builders who want a sturdy display model that still reveals panel detail and the jet's characteristic stance when completed.
