MiG-29UB Twinseater Plastic Model Kit

Product ID: 80-4751

Overview
Skill level: 5
Scale: 1:32
Length: 553 mm
Wingspan: 354 mm
Parts: 173

Description
The Soviet Union’s definitive fighter.

The MiG-29 UB is the two-seat trainer variant of one of the best multi-purpose combat aircraft to ever come out of the Soviet Union. In order to make space for the second pilot, this version lacks the pulse Doppler radar system found in the single-seat version. A positive thrust-to-weight ratio results in easy vertical takeoffs, and powerful dual Klimov RD-33 turbofan engines deliver an impressive top speed of Mach 2.3. Kit features exceptional filigree engraving, upgraded engine compartment detail and an extensive range of guided missiles and drop tanks.

Germany’s dive-bombing dynamo.

Dive-bombing. Torpedo-bombing. Night fighting. The Junkers Ju 88 could do it all – and then some. One of the most-produced variants was the A-4, which offered more powerful engines, improved armor and extensive armament. Standard armament consisted of SC 250 and SC 500 bombs, which weighed approximately 3,310-4,410 lb (1,500-2,000 kg). Over 16,000 Ju 88s were produced from 1939 through 1945, but only two complete aircraft exist today. Kit features new tooling, naturally recessed panel lines, a detailed cockpit, an extensively equipped interior, plus separate control surfaces and landing flaps.
