1/72 MiG-29UB Fulcrum-B

Description

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

From the manufacturer:

In order to train the new pilots of the Fulcrum for the Air Force, Mikoyan OKB developed a combat-capable trainer based on the original Fulcrum A.

Known as the Izdeliye 9.51, the new two-seat MiG-29UB conversion trainer took its first flight on 29th April 1981. To avoid a major redesign and ensure maximum commonality, the fire control radar was deleted in order to contain the newly-designed cockpit and canopy. Both the trainee at the front seat and the instructor at the rear can control the aircraft completely With the remaining IRST and HMS, the MiG-29UG can still fire the IR-homing AAMs and air-to-ground armaments. The internal cannon were retained.

The MiG-29UB retained dogfighting and strike capability, and the special emulators allows pilots to train in intercept techniques. Most users of the single-seat MiG-29s have imported the MiG-29UB to train their new pilots.

Molded in gray and clear plastic; includes decals for 2 markings variations.
