Model Description

ICM72140  ICM 1/72nd scale model kit MiG-29 of Ukrainian Air Forces “Ghost of KYIV “. Available to order at Flying Tigers.

Ukraine’s fighter pilots are vastly outnumbered by the Russians, and have become legendary – thanks in part to the story of an alleged flying ace called the “Ghost of Kyiv”.

This hero is said to have downed as many as 40 enemy planes – an incredible feat in an arena where Russia controls the skies.

But now the Ukraine Air Force Command has warned that the “Ghost of Kyiv is a superhero-legend whose character was created by Ukrainians!”.

It describes the “Ghost of Kyiv” as “a collective image of pilots of the Air Force’s 40th tactical aviation brigade, who defend the sky over the capital”, rather than a single man’s combat record.
