Re-usable die-cut camo mask set
The set includes two sheets of masks (shown in the picture). The masks are made from thin masking tape, which is easy to be peeled off and doesn’t leave any stains. The tape is tested on clear and painted model too. If carefully removed after painting, they can be used over and over again. Material is flexible and easily applied over curved surfaces. Semi-transparent for easy and accurate placing.

The MiG-29SMT is the latest version of the famous MiG-29 Fulcrum. The modification features new large spine with additional fuel, as well as improved avionics and controls. MiG-29SMT features almost completely new silhouette compared to the original MiG-29.
Besides the physical appearance and internal improvements, the painting of the jet is completely new concept.
The camouflage is very specific when it comes down to MiG-29SMT. The Russian variants feature specific splinter scheme, which is already applied on F/A-18 Hornets in Aggressor roles in the US.
India and Algeria operate MiG-29SMT variants, however the specific camouflage scheme seen here is used only on the Russian SMTs.

The Fulcrum is the NATO name for MiG-29 and it became synonymous with agility, thrust-to-weight ratio and aggressiveness. The Fulcrum is still used in many countries around the World and is even part of some private jet collections.
Those who use it as military platform usually go through various updates, stepping up from the 80s standards, when it was designed to serve originally.
SMT modification is newly produced and highly upgraded variant, showing many improvements, making a way for 21st century operations. Alongside with that, MiG-35, even more in-depth upgrade of the original Fulcrum is in production currently and with firm orders which will guarantee the long and interesting service-life for that beautiful jet fighter.
