A kit of the two-seat MiG-29UB trainer, series 9-51, in the small 1:144 scale. It is not the single-seat fighter but the two-seat version with a lengthened cockpit for an instructor and a pupil. Besides injection-molded plastic the box, according to a review, holds printed parts, a photo-etched fret and masks for the canopy. The decals are devoted to machines from the first years of the Ukrainian Air Force, that is the period after 1991, when the aircraft still carried the Soviet camouflage scheme and already the Ukrainian insignia. The manufacturer is the Ukrainian brand Armory.
The MiG-29UB is the two-seat trainer version of the MiG-29 frontline fighter. The cockpit was widened to two places one behind the other, each with its own canopy, and to make room for it the radar had to give way. The machine therefore kept the flying qualities of a fighter but without the full armament for combat at longer range. After the break-up of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited a large fleet of MiG-29s including the two-seaters; in the first years of independence the aircraft only received new insignia and the camouflage stayed as it had been.
In 1:144 the parts are tiny, so work with tweezers and a sharp blade. Glue the plastic with thin cement for plastic, and the printed parts and the photo-etch with cyanoacrylate glue. Spray a thin filler primer before painting. The longer glazing of the two-seat cockpit is the most conspicuous part of the model, so it pays to use the enclosed masks and to take your time over a clean frame. Soften the Soviet gray schemes in this scale so that the transitions are not too contrasty.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
