Soviet Navy fighters
Although they weren't direct competitors, and even were designed for different purpose, both had an influence on each other. Yak-141M was designed to be VSTOL interceptor, Mig-29K as multi-role carrier based fighter. Unfortunately for Yak-141M, carriers it was projected for, did not materialise and Kuznetsov was able to carry much more versatile, multi-role aircraft such as Fulcrum. So Freestyle as no longer needed. Both aircraft are similar in terms of weight, with empty Fulcrum weighing 12600kg empty and Freestyle 11650kg. The main difference in terms of performance is the weapon payload, where Fulcrum was capable to take twice as big ordinance as Yak. Both models are in 1:58 scale. Fulcrum is slightly improved, compared to that from few months ago. It has better landing gear (you can check it on other photos) and a few minor changes in fuselage.
