Aircraft Reference: MiG-29 'Fulcrum'


German MiG-29 - GADF assumed possession of 24 East German MiG-29's upon reunification in 1990
Since I began modelling airplanes I have always been in love with the MiG-29 and the family of Sukhoi (SU-27 - SU-35) fighters. I love their shape and the streamlined aesthetic of the fuselage. Having what I think of as a "goose-neck", where the cockpit seems almost cantilevered above and in front of the engine intakes, in contrast to the F-15 and F-14 where the cockpit extends nearly straight out from in between the engine intakes, endows the craft with a visual velocity unlike any other plane I have seen yet.

I purchased an Airfix 1:72 scale MiG-29 Fulcrum to scratch my itch with ... and as usual I dug up as much reference material as I could find on You Tube and collected it here into a playlist. There are some interesting documentaries here and worth sitting through the 4 hours of video. It makes great company while building your MiG-29 model!

The individual videos in the list can be seen here ... You Tube: Scale Model Videos - MiG-29 Reference Playlist ... or you can just kick off the playlist by clicking on the video below ...
