Mig-25RB/RBT with camouflage? HEEEEELP!


Vitor Costa

Recommended Posts

Hello Friends

Im building an Mig-25RB/RBT (the ones with the circular cameras on the nose, i have the Pavla conversion for the kit) and i want to make it with those amazing russian camos but i only found a color profile in the Aerofax Mig-25 Foxbat and Mig-31 Foxhound - Russian defensive front line book. The other evidence is this picture but as you can see its only a part of the aircraft, it looks a camouflage to me but... not sure.

I would like to know if they flew with a camouflage paint or not!

Can you help me please?

Thank you in advance.

Vitor,

I'm not sure I've ever seen a picture of a camouflagd RB or RBT, while there are several pictures around of camouflaged RBF.

The Begemot decal sheet offers a camouflaged RB (37 white), as they are a russian company I'm sure they have done their research well, so there must have been camouflaged RBs....

You can see the decals here:

Hi Giorgio

I have that decals and there was a mistake, the white 37 is a BM not a RB, in the decals i have they correct it... i also have some photos and its not an RB.

Thank you for you help.

Unfortunately photos of the bottom surfaces of a nose part aren't present.

Red "57" at it is valid .

To the scheme of a camouflage shown in decal of the Begemot, it is possible to trust safely as it was restored directly from a photo.

Sorry to hear the Begemot sheet is wrong ! I must have an older issue with the original artwork and the wrong indiction of the version.

Wonder if any of our russian friends here knows more about camouflaged RB/RBT ?

Hi Giorgio, it looks that i must build another version if i want to have a camouflaged Mig-25, thank you for your help :-)

Hi Serge

Thank you for your help, i want to build one of the versions that have the circular cameras on the nose, but there is no photographic evidences of such aircraft with a camoflage... so i will build one of the others

Thank you guys.

Best regards

Hi Serge

That is the photo i saw (i put the link in my second post here) but im not sure if that is a camouflage... if you look to all the other aircrafts that have a camo paint you see more colors... here you only see grey and... green? This is an RB but is a camouflaged aircraft?

Thank you very much for your interest and help.

Best regards

Actually in our decal not one camouflaged MiG-25

no 13 - MiG-25RBF BuNo red 38 from 931 GuSRAR - East Germany, but we dont know precise position of spots.

no 16 and 17 - MiG-25RBF BuNo red 20 from 47-th GuRAR (Shatalovo), later red 57 from 98 GuRAR (Monchegorsk) - we restored its camouflage from Mir Aviatsii magazine and photos

no 20 - MiG-25BM white 37 from Lipetsk- we don't know how place camouflage from one of fuselage sides. Abd actually i'm never say that this MiG-25 is RB - in all our instructions this MiG-25 was MiG-25BM.

So. sorry but i'm don't know camouflaged MiG-25RB or RBT.
