The Ghost of Kyiv Attacks

Description

The legend of the Ghost of Kyiv has become one of the most iconic stories of modern Ukraine — a heroic fighter pilot said to have defended the skies over Kyiv in a MiG-29 during the first days of the full-scale invasion. Though the Ghost is a symbolic figure representing the brave pilots of Ukraine’s 40th Tactical Air Force Brigade, the story captured hearts around the world.

The Ghost of Kyiv Attacks is part of the Age of Bravery series — a special collection of “mechanical stories” that honour real events and the extraordinary spirit of Ukraine’s defenders, both past and present.

This wooden model features a Ukrainian MiG-29 firing a missile at a Russian fighter. Move the front lever and watch the missile launch — the enemy plane spins as if falling from the sky, while moving clouds and landmarks of Kyiv, including St. Sophia Cathedral and monuments to Kyiv’s founders, are etched into the background. It’s a simple yet powerful mechanism that brings the legend to life.

Like all Age of Bravery kits, this model includes a bonus Trident Fidget — a small, mechanical keychain shaped like Ukraine’s national coat of arms, symbolising strength and resilience.

With 52 pre-cut wooden parts, this model takes around 30 minutes to assemble. No glue or tools are needed — just press out the laser-cut pieces and follow the detailed instructions included in 11 languages. It’s easy and enjoyable to build, even for beginners.

Whether you’re a hobbyist, history enthusiast, or simply want to show your support for Ukraine, The Ghost of Kyiv Attacks is a meaningful model to display or gift — a tribute to courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
