Description

A visually striking and highly detailed 1:72 scale diecast representation of a Ukrainian Air Force Mikoyan MiG-29MU1 Fulcrum-C carrying an elaborate digital camouflage scheme. Released as part of the Hobby Master Air Power Series, HA6518 depicts aircraft “Yellow 57” during 2014.

The MiG-29MU1 programme was developed to modernise Ukraine's existing MiG-29 fleet. Improvements included upgraded navigation, communications and radar-related systems intended to extend the aircraft's service life and improve its operational effectiveness.

Yellow 57 received a major overhaul and was subsequently refinished in the Ukrainian Air Force's distinctive digital camouflage. The complex pattern combines white, light grey, dark grey and black areas across the wings, fuselage and twin tail surfaces, giving the aircraft a highly recognisable contemporary appearance.

The aircraft also carries blue and yellow Ukrainian national insignia, orange-bordered roundels and an individual trident emblem applied along the upper fuselage. These markings contrast sharply with the angular digital pattern and make this one of the most distinctive modern MiG-29 schemes.

Designed as a high-performance air-superiority fighter, the MiG-29 first flew in 1977. Its twin engines, widely spaced air intakes, high-mounted canopy and excellent manoeuvrability made it a formidable short-range fighter, while later upgrades expanded its navigation, weapons and multi-role capabilities.

This Hobby Master release features extensive diecast construction, a detailed cockpit beneath a clear canopy, removable external stores and accurately reproduced twin engine exhausts. Further details include the intricate digital camouflage, authentic Ukrainian markings, removable landing gear and the original Hobby Master presentation display stand.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.


Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.


Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.


Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
