Trumpeter Aircraft 1/32 MiG29UB Fulcrum Russian Fighter (New Variant) Kit

In order to train the new pilots of the Fulcrum for Air Force, Mikoyan OKB developed a combat-capable trainer based on the original Fulcrum A.  Known as the Izdeliye 9.51, the new Two-Seat Mig-29UB conversion trainer took its 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 could control the aircraft. With the remaining IRST and HMS, the Mig-29UB can still fire the IR-homing AAMs and air-to-ground armament.The internal cannon was also retained.
