Homebee Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Release expected in May 2022 - ref. 72140 - Mikoyan i Gurevich MiG-29 "Fulcrum" - Ukrainian AF - Ghost of Kyiv Source: https://www.facebook.com/ICM.Models/posts/pfbid0VZ7FxHQCSAMX2iwiiGYFAaMw9Rf5qBdw91Cp26d5fS437LusBoNzUsyyvuT6JfwVl Quote AVAILABLE IN MAY! We do not know for certain whether this person or several of them exist. But we know for sure that the Ghost of Kyiv has become a symbol. A symbol of the struggle that every citizen of our Ukraine, together with the whole world, has been waging for 2 months. The symbol of the Heroes who protect us in an unequal battle. The symbol of the fact that it is impossible to break freedom in three days, even if you have the "second army of the world." The symbol of the Pilots who protect us in the sky at the cost of their lives. We knew from the first days that we will release this set. Having started production again, we immediately took up its implementation. The GOAL of this project is the only one - to make our common contribution on the way to Victory. 50% of the funds will be donated to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Perhaps this money will help buy someone the necessary equipment or weapons. Yes, inside is our "old" MiG-29 in 1/72 scale. No, the set does not include the pilot figure. Yes, the set includes two large decals: a decal with technical inscriptions and a "pixel" camo of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Слава Україні!

Mountain goat Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Like others I absolutely will buy this kit as well, on principle as well as for its significance (like the famous Snake Island stamps are significant). Jay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I am starting to wonder if the "Ghost of Kiev" was invented by the clever marketing department of a plastic kit company 😉 Will have to watch out for this kit too 😄 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torbjorn Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I generally don’t build anything faster than my 90hp automobile, but I think I’ll buy this anyway.

Uncle Dick Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Good to see they provide the "Ghost of Kyiv" nose art and aerial victory markings in the decals even if its not on the box art. Cannot confirm its Bort 19 in photo though... Image via https://twitter.com/StefanKnippsch3/status/1514678374194688000 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVenom Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Love many Russian Migs including the Foxbat, Mig 21 etc (not really interested in the modern ones like the 29) but isn't this story and the Snake island stuff been proven to be fake? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Ukrainian pilots have downed a number of Russian aircraft, but neither their names nor the number of kills are disclosed for obvious reasons. Is there an air ace among them? Nobody knows. Disclosure and verification will have to wait until the war is over, which will not be soon. On the other hand, I do not really understand questioning the events on Snake Island. The cruiser "Moskva" arrived, ordered the defenders to surrender, was sent нахуй by them, the defenders were fired upon and taken prisoner. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the story I've heard about snake island was the Ukranians were ordered to surrender but they told the Russians to go away (in expleteive terms) and they died as martyrs but what really happened was they surrendered and were taken prisoner and are all still alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wild claims about the Ghost have been declared false, yes... https://theaviationist.com/2022/04/30/ghost-of-kyiv-eventually-debunked/ As the article states: Quote Therefore, as explained at the beginning of the war, the “Ghost of Kyiv” was a still is a meme, a collective image of all Ukrainian fighter pilots who bravely fight against Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft over Ukraine: a symbol rather than an actual pilot, no matter what some media outlets speculate.

Piotr Mikolajski Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 On 5/28/2022 at 6:15 PM, SeaVenom said: and they died as martyrs Someone has greatly exaggerated events. On 5/28/2022 at 6:15 PM, SeaVenom said: they surrendered and were taken prisoner and are all still alive In fact, the Russians shelled the island and destroyed the mobile network relay, only then taking the Ukrainian soldiers prisoner. For the Ukrainian authorities, contact suddenly ceased and the soldiers simply 'disappeared'. Given the Russians' 'track record' so far, and the fact that they did not inform about the fate of the Ukrainian POWs, the worst option was assumed, which exceptionally did not happen in this case. Coming back to the "Spirit of Kiev" - we really have no idea where the Ukrainian Air Force is stationed, how many combat tasks it performs and what real achievements the Ukrainian pilots have. We are unlikely to find out until the end of the war, as any information threatens the security of either the pilots or the places of stationing. Videos from the front line show that the Ukrainian Air Force, which the Russians declared destroyed on the first day of the war, is still performing combat tasks. This includes even such large aircraft as the Su-24M. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
