1:48 MiG-29 Fulcrum airbrakes

MiG-29 Fulcrum - airbrakes 1:48 (Aires)

A resin detail set for experienced modelers, not an aircraft kit. The set adds faithfully cast airbrakes of the Soviet, later Russian, Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter in 1:48 scale. It lets you build the model with the brakes deployed and reveal their inner face and their well, a striking detail on an aircraft shown on the ground.

What the set offers

The castings capture the airbrake panels and their recesses in the fuselage, with the stiffeners and the mechanism. The MiG-29 carries airbrakes on both the spine and the underside of the fuselage, so deploying them breaks up the smooth silhouette and gives the model dynamism. The set is shaped for a matching MiG-29 kit in this scale.

Tips for working with resin

• Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
• Carefully sand or cut out the corresponding place in the fuselage according to the instructions
• Cut off the casting blocks with a saw and bond the resin part with super glue
• Paint the inner face of the brakes and the well and bring them out with a wash before fitting

Who the set is for

• For more experienced modelers building the MiG-29 in 1:48 scale
• For lovers of Soviet and Russian fighter subjects
• For builders of scenes with an aircraft being prepared on the ground

This is a resin detail set, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
