This brand new 1/72 scale diecast model of the Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum Aircraft "Ghost of Kyiv, 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade, Vasylkiv Air Base" (2023) from the Ukrainian Air Force "Air Power Series" by Hobby Master comes in its original unopened box and features detailed exterior craftsmanship, true-to-scale detail, an opening canopy, display stand, and detachable ordnance load. Made of diecast metal and plastic for durability and a heavy, realistic feel, the model measures approximately 9.5 inches in length with a 6.25-inch wingspan and includes realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels, and surface details for an authentic representation. The MiG-29 associated with the “Ghost of Kyiv” became a powerful symbol of Ukrainian resistance during the Russo-Ukrainian War, operated by the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade from Vasylkiv Air Base. These aircraft flew combat air patrols, interception missions, and defensive sorties under extreme pressure, demonstrating remarkable survivability through rapid relocation, camouflage, and effective maintenance. Originally designed as a Cold War frontline air superiority fighter, the MiG-29 was adapted in Ukrainian service with updated avionics, Western communications, and NATO-compatible weapons. While the “Ghost of Kyiv” represents the collective efforts of MiG-29 crews rather than a single pilot, it became an emblem of morale, national unity, and international recognition. This 1 - 72 scale model captures the distinctive markings, historical significance, and symbolism of Ukraine’s modern air defense struggle, making it a compelling and meaningful addition to any contemporary military aviation collection.
