Description

2116 MiG-29A Fulcrum 1:48 Academy Model Kit

Plastic model assembly kit, requires paint and glue.

The MiG-29 originated from a Prospective Frontal Fighter program launched in 1969, the Perspektivnyi Frontovoi Istrebeitel (PFI), which was later split into two separate programs, the Loggiky Perspektivnyi Frontovoi Istrebeitel (LPFI) – Lightweight aircraft and then Tyazholyi Perspektivnyi Frontovoi Istrebeitel (TPFI) – Heavyweight aircraft (the latter eventually leading to the Sukhoi Su-27). Aiming to counter the F-15 – the winner of USAD’s FX program – it was designed by the Mikoyan OKB. The MiG-29 has emerged as a supreme air defense fighter, optimized for agility but with limited range, endurance and payload.
