Trumpeter 01677 1/72 Mikoyan MiG-29UB Fulcrum (Izdeliye 9.51)

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

In order to train the new pilots of the Fulcrum for Air Force, Mikoyan OKB developed a combat-capable trainer base on the original Fulcrum A.

Known as the Izdeliye 9.51, the new Two-Seat Mig-29UB conversion trainer took it's first flight on 29th April 1981. To avoid a major redesign and ensure maximum commonality, the fire control radar was deleted in order to contain the newly-designed cockpit and canopy. Both the trainee at the front seat and the instructor at the rear can control the aircraft completely. With the remaining IRST and HMS, the Mig-29UB can still firing the IR-homing AAMs and air-to-ground armaments. The internal cannon were retained.

The Mig-29UB retained dogfighting and strike capability, and the special emulators allows pilots to train in intercept techniques. Most users of the Single-Seat Mig-29s have imported the Mig-29UB to train their new pilots.
