About product

Airfield tow bar for the MiG-29 1:48 from Temp Models

The set contains a 3D printed resin model of the tow bar with which the MiG-29 aircraft is moved around the airfield surface. Alongside this item the manufacturer also lists a bar intended for the MiG-29 and the MiG-35, so choose according to the machine you are building. It is not a model of an aircraft but a piece of ground equipment for a diorama.

The real subject

The MiG-29 is a tactical fighter built for operation from less prepared surfaces as well, with a sturdy nose leg and a mudguard against thrown-up stones. The machine is moved around the surface by a tug coupled through a tow bar, which clamps onto that very nose leg. The bar belongs to the standard equipment of every squadron and is to be seen by parked aircraft. In a diorama it gives the scene a story and explains the presence of technicians.

Building and painting tips

First wash the 3D printed parts in warm water with a little dish soap, so that they are rid of the residue of printing resin. Cut the supports off with a sharp blade or a fine saw as close to the part as possible and sand the marks down with your airways protected. Resin does not bond with cement for polystyrene, so use cyanoacrylate glue. Lay a thin coat of primer on before painting, otherwise the paint holds poorly on a smooth print. Equipment beside an aircraft comes out best with weathering: a dark wash into the gaps, dust with dry pigment and scuffed spots suggested with a metallic shade.

Who the set is for

  • A model of an airfield tow bar for the MiG-29 in 1:48 scale
  • A resin 3D print with fine resolution
  • An accessory for an airfield diorama, not a model of an aircraft
  • The manufacturer also lists a bar for the MiG-29 and the MiG-35
  • Calls for cyanoacrylate glue and a primer under the paint

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. This is an accessory set for another kit; the package contains neither the aircraft itself nor its parts.

It connects the nose leg of the aircraft with a tug so that the machine can be moved around the airfield surface without the engines running.

For the MiG-35 the manufacturer lists a separate item, which covers both the MiG-29 and the MiG-35. This set is listed for the MiG-29 only.
