The Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum is a defining Cold War fighter developed to challenge Western designs such as the F-15. Its twin Klimov RD-33 turbofan engines give the type high supersonic performance, with top speeds quoted around Mach 2.2, making it a standout in late 20th century military aviation.
The MiG-29 is recognised for its compact, wide fuselage and twin vertical tails, coupled with a 30mm internal cannon and the ability to carry air-to-air missiles like the AA-8 Aphid. Those design choices emphasised agility and short-field performance, helping the aircraft fill frontline air superiority roles.
The Italeri 1/72 scale MiG-29A Fulcrum kit recreates the fighter in manageable detail, offering a satisfying build for modellers who enjoy Cold War subjects. The assembly provides a mix of straightforward and precise steps, and finished models make attractive shelf displays that show off the jet's aggressive silhouette.
