Eastern Express Mig-29 Fulcrum 1/72 Scale

The MiG-29 "Fulcrum" ("Tochka Opori" in Russian) was designed and built to be a single-seat supersonic, all-weather, air superiority fighter representing, with the MiG-31 "Foxhound", the latest and perhaps last fighter production items from the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

The primary role of the MiG-29 is to destroy air targets at distances from 60 to 200 kilometers (30 to 110 NM) at all altitudes, on all profiles, in any weather, and under all ECM conditions. In addition, the basic MiG-29 is capable of limited air-to-ground operations and in advanced versions, has been optimized to attack both stationary and moving targets with precision guided munitions.

The basic single-seat production MiG-29, designated as "Product" or "Model" "09", with nineteen prototypes, of which the first groups were numbered 9-01 to 9-11 and 9-12 to 9-15, while others were on the drawing boards. The new model quickly became the Fulcrum "A" to NATO analysts.
