Herpa Wings Military 580236 | MiG-29G Fulcrum A Russian Air Force, 120th GvlAP "Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment", Domna Air Base - 52 white

General Background:

Designed to help the Soviet Union attain air superiority, the MiG-29 fighter was first flown on October 6th, 1977. The MiG-29, known as the "Fulcrum," has a high-mounted bubble canopy and twin jet engines with diagonal-shaped air intakes and large exhausts. Its tapered, swept-back wings and boom-mounted tail fins give it its classic look. Armed with medium and short-range missiles and unguided weapons for ground and sea-surface targets, the MiG-29's sight is a helmet-mounted system-the pilot chooses his targets by looking at them. Even today the Fulcrum remains a potent adversary, and will remain in service for at least another decade.

The Aircraft:

Domna is the home base for several air regiments of the Russian Armed Forces. One of these is the 120th Guards Regiment with its characteristic shark mouths and the Russian double-headed eagle on the stabilizers. On the left fuselage, behind the cockpit, "52 white" sports a small cartoon of an F-15 being chased by a MiG-29
