Trumpeter 03226 Russian MIG-29UB Fulcrum 1/32 – detailed model of a two-seat trainer-fighter aircraft

Trumpeter 03226 Russian MIG-29UB Fulcrum is a large-scale 1/32 plastic model kit that allows for a faithful replica of the two-seat training version of the legendary MiG-29 fighter jet. This model offers excellent rendition of the Soviet-designed machine, used mainly by the Russian Air Force as well as numerous other countries worldwide.

The MiG-29UB Fulcrum-B is the two-seat training version of the iconic MiG-29 fighter, designed by the MiG design bureau in the 1970s. The first flight of the UB variant took place in 1981, and the aircraft was quickly adopted into service by Warsaw Pact countries during the Cold War period. The Fulcrum-B was used not only for pilot training, but also for combat missions, since it retained the full combat capabilities of the single-seat version.

The Trumpeter 03226 model stands out with its exceptional level of detail replication, especially in regards to the two-person cockpit, panel lines and rivets on the fuselage, and the weaponry characteristic of the UB version. The kit is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring both precision castings and durability. The set includes photo-etched metal parts for even more accurate detailing of the cockpit, pilot harnesses, and other small elements for heightened realism. Additionally, the kit features detailed decals and a clear cockpit canopy, while some editions offer metal gun barrel or pitot tube elements.
