Name: Mig-29A 9-12
Type: Detailed Replica
Attempt #: 6
Falkenwut Generation Build: 7
As this is my favorite fighter from the Soviet Union, I present to you, my re-re-re-re-re-remake of the Mig-29, this time, the A model 9-12!
With this Beta 1.11 version out, I thought I'd try my hand at remaking my Highly detailed Mig-29, This time, comes with:
- Detailed, functional and VR-capable cockpit
- Functional RWR and Gear Gauges
- Function HUD and HUD repeater
- Detailed Air inlets
- Functional IR sensor
- Detailed Gear doors
- Moving engine nozzles
- Functional Custom Afterburner
- Personally made Air-to-Air Missiles
- Detailed Antennae
Though I still didn't nick all the little details on the bud and didn't reduce the part count as much as the original High-detailed one, at least it comes far better than I had originally hoped for!
It was a tough 1 and a half-weeks to make this, I hope you guys get to enjoy it, especially in VR!
As per the real Mig-29, the Airbrake only functional when Gears are up and the Centre Fuel tank has been jettisoned.

@Random04 Actually the MIG-29 never really had a sky blue cockpit
Soviet not approved, cockpit color not sky blue
PLANE REJECTED
@Amirabadi Popularity-wise? It's starting to rise, but this game is NOWHERE close to DCS. The planes in DCS have been meticulously researched to get the most realistic experience of the planes they offer.
Here... A flying toaster with bacon missiles is just as logical 🤷
@Falkenwut cool you have dcs thanks i hope i can download it too but looks like simpleplane is becoming a new dcs. isn't it?
@Amirabadi I just search online for what I can find. It's not always easy, but if the plane is popular, usually you'll find very very detailed blueprints.
For this model particularly I was lucky to have the DCS model on standby to confirm specific details
@Falkenwut hello what is your blueprint resource?
@parkrangerjerry Soviet is referring to the colour scheme. Soviet i.e. Soviet Union, not Russia(ish..)
Also yes, United States did purchase Mig-29s, but that's a political can of worms...
oh its soviet?
thought it was american
lmao
Just the best Mig 29 . WHOOAAA , i love it .
My name is Giovanni Giorgio but everyone calls me Giorgio
@SyntheticL I'll have a look into it. Thanks for letting me know!!!
@Falkenwut well, since you are in beta, maybe you want to check this...
@Tang0five You seem to use the windows version, why not give it a spin? At least till the devs release an official version...
@SyntheticL You are right. I gave it a basic star shape because i didn't want to add too much to the part count.
I wish they would add ASCII characters to the new labels feature, it would save me A LOTTTTTT OF TIME...
How long will this beta last before us mortals can play!!??
Nice looking build as always - itching to have a spin! :)
btw the roundel varient on your plane was actrually ceased from using since 1943 or 1944
enjoy the upvote
bcs yours plane better than mine :P
Updoot
