Zvezda MiG-29SMT
Arecent arrival from Zvezda is this model of the latest variant of the MiG-29 now in service with the Russian Air Force. The stout cardboard box is enveloped in a colourful outer sleeve, the rear of which has photos of the finished model. These are useful shots of the tricolour camouflage, very helpful when painting.
With over 200 parts, the box is packed with sprues, some duplicated for the weapon load out and a clear sprue for the canopy, lights and IRST ball. The parts are finely engraved and show Zvezda’s continual improvement in moulding. I must confess to having only built one Zvezda kit before, their Tiger I in 1/35 and I was mightily impressed. This opinion has only been reinforced by the outstanding quality of this kit.
The instructions suggest that the finished model may be mounted in flying position on a stand designed to fit the belly tank. However, this is NOT supplied with the kit and must be purchased separately.
