Hobby 2000 48022 MiG-29 German Air Force (ACADEMY + CARTOGRAF + MASK) 1/48 is a high-quality plastic model kit of a jet aircraft for assembly in the popular 1/48 scale. This is a unique set for aviation model enthusiasts, allowing you to recreate one of the most important fighters of the late Cold War in the colors of the German Luftwaffe.

The model represents the German MiG-29G fighter version, which entered service after the reunification of Germany. The 24 MiG-29 aircraft purchased from the Soviet Union were an invaluable element of the Federal Republic of Germany's air defense in the years 1990–2003. The MiG-29 is known for its outstanding performance—impressive maneuverability and a maximum speed exceeding 2400 km/h—as well as for avionics that were advanced for their time. The fighter was used both for combat patrols and pilot training during the late Cold War and the years immediately following.
