Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the two-seat MiG-29UB in 1:144 scale from the Ukrainian brand Armory. The manufacturer adds 3D-printed parts and a photo-etched fret to the plastic, so that fine features such as the intake ducts or the exhaust nozzles are not left to the molding alone. The boxing is marked as set 3 and the decals aim at machines from the first years of the Ukrainian Air Force.
The MiG-29UB, internally izdeliye 9-51, is the two-seat combat trainer version of the MiG-29 fighter. The second cockpit took the place of part of the equipment in the nose, which is why the machine has no radar; the raised rear seat lets the instructor see over the pupil's head. The ability to carry armament remained, so the UB was not merely a school aircraft. Ukraine took over an extensive fleet of MiG-29s after the break-up of the Soviet Union, and the machines of the first half of the 1990s still carried the Soviet camouflage scheme with new Ukrainian insignia — this is exactly the period the edition covers.
In 1:144 scale the cleanliness of the seams decides the result: sand the fuselage seams down before you fit the small parts. Glue both the photo-etch and the printed parts with cyanoacrylate glue, and the plastic with thin cement for plastic. Spray over a filler primer and lay the camouflage on with an airbrush at low pressure, because the edges of the transitions are fine in this scale. Spray gloss clear coat under the decals and even the surface out with a matte one once it has dried.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
