That is a very big picture. It's also an excellent reference on several levels, while a beautiful picture of a wrecked MiG-29, it could be used to portray numerous a/c either destroyed or damaged because the exposed parts could easily be used to model any a/c. The whole picture could be an intersting diorama. Thanks for posting it!

Further to your picture, I have some bits of the ejector seat from one of the MiG 29s which collided at RAF Fairford a few years ago. I will try to get photos of them, they may be of interest to someone superdetailing a Russian plane's cockpit, for colour reference etc as I believe that seat is used in a number of Soviet types.
If this info is of any use to anyone, give me a shout. The bits are, as far as I can tell, part of the seat pan (it has a couple of plates with Cyrillic lettering on), also part of the B.T.U. the firing handle shroud, which is leather and an unidentified bit which looks rather like a long piston.
