Eduard have done a good job of keeping up with Trumpeter's recent resurgance of Soviet/Russian hardware, with sets for many of the new releases, including the Su-24, Su-27 and MiG-29. This latest set caters for the MiG-29UB twin-seat trainer version of the Fulcrum, and comes in both regular and Zoom variants.

 

 

 

This set comprises two frets of photo etched parts. The first fret contains pre-painted parts for detailing the cockpit and includes harnesses, pull handles and cushions for the ejection seats, as well as details for the instrument panels, cockpit sidewalls, control columns and HUD unit. The second fret is unpainted and contains details for the rest of the airframe. The landing gear benefits from hydraulic lines and a mud guard, there are FOD guards for the engine air intakes and details for the missile rails, which will be crucial if you are not planning to finish your model with a full load of weapons. There are flame holders for the engine exhausts and details for the canopy too. Smaller details include a host of small aerials and plates to dot around the airframe.

Conclusion

 

This is a sensible and worthwhile upgrade for Trumpeter's rather excellent kit. It includes all of the extra details that you would want, with the added benefit of the cheaper Zoom set if you just want to jazz the interior up a bit. Recommended.
