This set is really quite comprehensive, with quite a lot of pre-coloured cockpit detail, canopy frame and cockpit surround enhancements, plus numerous antennae, control linkages, static discharge wicks, AoA sensor-vane, nose-wheel FOD-guard, brake lines, undercarriage bay and air intake detail, after-burner flame holders, missile fins and launch-rail detail.

 

 

The gallery images are from Eduard’s website and illustrate the set applied to an unpainted example of the Zvezda MiG-29. Please note that the canopy mask shown in some of these images is not included with the set reviewed here, and the coloured PE items are in their plain form (presumably, the photos are of a pre-production set).

 

 

Conclusion

 

This excellent quality detail set should enhance the Zvezda MiG-29 considerably; I highly recommended it.

Thanks to Eduard for the samples and images.
