Trumpeter 1/72 Mig-29S 9.13 Fulcrum-C

Adapted from the manufacturer:

Since the MiG-29A were in service, the limited fuel capacity was the biggest problem of this light tactical fighter. To meet the specified range requirements, the designers at Mikoyan developed a project to enlarge the fuselage tank. But the special dorsal auxiliary air intakes only made it possible to readily enlarge the tank in the spine; its capacity was increased by 240 liters. The enlarged fuselage tank made the upper fuselage contour convex instead of concave. Besides that, the addition of new pylons allowed another two drop tanks to be fitted under the wings.  Fitting three drop tanks gave the fighter a ferry range of 3,000km.

A series of new electronic countermeasure equipment was also fitted on the aircraft, and ordnance load increased to 3,200kg.

The prototype of the MiG-29C (Idzeliye 9.13) took off for the first time on 4th May 1984.  More than 400 "fatbacks" were built.  233 of them remained in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union; 155 were retained by the Ukraine.

Molded in gray and clear plastic; will be 23.7cm long with a wingspan of 15.9cm when built. Includes decals.
