The subject

The MiG-29 is a multirole fighter aircraft designed by Mikoyan. Entering service during the 1980s, it has been used by several air forces, including the Ukrainian Air Forces. The name « Ghost of Kyiv » refers to a symbolic figure that became particularly well known at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The model kit

This ICM reference allows you to build a 1/72-scale fighter aircraft, a scale appreciated for military aviation collections and compact dioramas. At this scale, each dimension of the real subject is reduced by a factor of 72.

Building a scale aircraft model requires careful preparation of the parts before gluing, followed by special attention to the parting lines, fine details, and the application of decals. Using a suitable primer makes it easier to check the surface before painting.
