Was wondering what versions of Mig-29 does present day Germany uses? I remember seeing S versions. Are there also M and K versions? (so I can use the 1/32 Trump to make one :-) :-) ).

Thanks!

None!

all were sold to Poland for one Euro! we still lose the war...

1990-2005 they had a 2-tone(?) grey scheme and were brought up to NATO standards. The designation was MiG-29G and MiG-29GT for the trainer.

I suggest you to try to get the AirDoc booklet on the German Fulcrums which mostly deal with post 1990 machines. Also useful is the DHS on the Fulcrum which is focused on pre 1990 use by LSK/LV of the GDR but also covers the later use (pictures in AirDoc might be better, while DHS is heavier on the text: both are available e.g. at Linden Hill) .

IIRC AirDoc also did a decal sheet for the grey MiGs in 1/72 and 1/48.

HTH
cheers
