Trumpeter has released this kit after years of waiting by smaller scale modelers for an accurate Mig-29 in 1/72 scale. About the best you were going to do before this release was the old Airfix kit or the Italeri offering. Both had their ups and downs, something for the most part Trumpeter has remedied with this kit. The parts come in 9 bags making sure that scratches do not occur. the molding is great with very fine recessed panel detail and riveting. For weapon options you get the ever popular R-27 missiles for the inboard pylons (both IR and radar guided versions) and your choice of R-60 or R-73 weapons for the two outboard stations. Another unique feature not offered in some other kits of this aircraft are the often seen and fitted under wing PTB-1150 fuel tanks, which can be an option vs. the R-27 missiles. One thing perplexed me a little about this kit however. Like the Italeri offering it comes with the over-the-LERX intakes open limiting your options to an aircraft that would be in taxi mode preparing to take off. Why Trumpeter did not offer both open and closed plugs for this I may never understand. The kit comes with markings for two jets, one Russian and one NATO Hungarian bird (the one on the box drawing. I should also note that you get a great box size print of this drawing inside of the instruction sheet that is suitable for framing.) As for dimensions it looks very good to my eye, even the complex nose and blended fuselage area look real good comparing them to photo's on the internet. If you are looking to add a very widely used early Mig-29 to your collection, you need look no further. This will for sure be the go-to kit from this point forward in the scale. Highly recommended...Matt/StanRead full review
