Designed to help the Soviet Union attain air superiority, the MiG-29 fighter was first flown on October 6th, 1977. The MiG-29, known as the "Fulcrum," has a high-mounted bubble canopy and twin jet engines with diagonal-shaped air intakes and large exhausts. Its tapered, swept-back wings and boom-mounted tail fins give it its classic look. Armed with medium and short-range missiles and unguided weapons for ground and sea-surface targets, the MiG-29's sight is a helmet-mounted system-the pilot chooses his targets by looking at them. Even today the Fulcrum remains a potent adversary, and will remain in service for at least another decade.

All the quality you can expect from HM. Not my first HM MiG-21 and won't be my last. Thank you Aikins!

I'm the grateful collector in having a dozen-plus of the Hobby Master (HM) MiG-29 die-cast models in my collection. They are all great looking models with their own special schemes, but this one is really special. It sports a Digital Camo Paint Scheme representing the "Ghost of Kyiv" that simply "Rocks the MiG-29" with the Ukrainian Air Force. Seeing the model in person as soon as I opened the box was spectacular, and it exceeded all my expectations!
Aiken's Airplanes have been doing a superb job for many years in supplying collectors and the collectorate, with so many different types of die-cast models. Well wishes to Dave and his staff, and thanks for all they do in getting it right from start to delivery, of what collectors are looking to buy!
