COBI TOP Gun (1986) MIG-28 Aircraft – 1:48 Scale Brick Model

Recreate a pop culture icon with COBI

The COBI TOP Gun MIG-28 Aircraft set brings a fictional film silhouette to life with buildable brick precision. Inspired by the famous Top Gun universe, the model references the appearance of the mysterious adversary from the era, while the construction focuses on detail, durability, and display quality. The design pays homage to the era’s aesthetic, including a dark livery and emblem details that resemble the film’s iconic visuals. The set is designed to be collectible, interactive, and display-ready, without aiming to replicate real world aircraft performance.

Although the MIG-28 is a cinema favorite, the package notes that the model uses plans inspired by the F-5 Freedom Fighter. This gives fans a sense of authenticity in silhouette and proportions, while the real world is left to the imagination. The completed model features movable elements, a removable landing gear, an opening cockpit, and a simplified figure wearing a film-inspired helmet. A display stand and a nameplate with the Top Gun logo complete the presentation, making it easy to curate a dedicated shelf of film-inspired aircraft.
