This airplane made its first flight on October 6, 1977. After many design changes the first deliveries of the Fulcrum were made to Soviet Frontal Aviation in 1983 and the airplane was declared operational early in 1985. The first hard information became available when the aircraft was examined by Western authorities during an exchange visit to Finland by a MiG-29 unit in 1986. Configured similarly to its F/A-18 Hornet rival, the supersonic and extremely agile MiG-29 has a highly swept (45 degree) low-mounted wing above twin reheated turbofan engines buried in the fuselage but under the wing. The tailplane has two vertical and two horizontal stabilizers. More than 600 MiG-29s are now in service with the former Soviet forces, and the aircraft has been exported to several other countries. The plane is powered by two 18,300-lb thrust reheated Sarkisov RD-33 turbofan engines, with a maximum speed at sea level of 805 mph, at altitude of 1,530 mph; service ceiling of 60,700 feet; range on internal fuel of 932 miles; and a range with external tank of 1,550 miles. Airplane armament: six underwing hardpoints capable of carrying six Alamo or Archer radar or infrared guided air-to-air missiles; also provision for earlier AA-8 or AA-9 missiles or bombs; 50, 80, or 240-mm rocket pods or submunition dispensers; single 30-mm cannon; and 130 rounds of ammunition are installed in the port wing root leading edge extension.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
