This digital publication is the the first release of the forthcoming UNVEILED
SECRETS series multimedia CDs. This Preview focuses on the MiG-29 Fulcrum
fighter.
Browsing the CD is pretty comfortable. Beta version of the CD that I had, lacked
any kind of search engine but due to separate chapters there still was no
problem find anything.
The CD is divided into 7 chapters, not all were finished yet but just what I
have seen, made me open my mouth for the first time. The Tech Specs and RD-33
engine are huge chapters and contain tremendous amounts of info and photodetail,
machines during general overhaul with all the bowels taken out, animations and
schemes that explain the most detailled engine and aircraft specs, video stuff
and so on.
Beta version contains over 900 photos available so far, the whole CD should
contain up to 2,200 pics.

The
Modelling Section has taken my breath for the second time.. The authors must
probably have dug through the whole world to get probably every Fulcrum
camouflage on this planet. I have counted
up to 80 camo schemes, and there should be even more on the final version. Many
airforces, that I have never heard about show their most unbelievable camo
patterns and schemes, all with color conversion charts and ready-to-print decals
in 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32nd scale.

This CD is a huge photosource for modellers but contains much more than just a
mediocre modeller would need. It is also well suited for any kind of aviation
geek or military fanatic.
If the whole work turns out to be as good as the beta version, it will easily
outperform any (not only MiG-29) publication, source, or printed reference
available today. I have never seen any source so complex and so detailed. That
has nothing to do with normal average.... That IS INSANE!!! Purchase this one.
The CD even has a dedicated homepage with updates on the whole project. Visit
www.unveiledsecrets.com
The date of release for the final version is planned for October 2002.
