1/48 ICM Mig-25RBT Foxbat


Recommended Posts

I bought this as soon as it was released as I was impressed with the look of ICM's product, I wasn't disappointed. A really enjoyable build with great fit and no real need for AM parts, I added some PE belts to the seat and that was it. As I wanted to build a true representation of an RBT I decided to scratch build the sensor bulge missing from under the nose and I'm happy with how this turned out. Finished with Akah paints for the colours and AK Extreme metals/Alclads for the metal area's. My only extra spend on this kit was the New Ware mask set which came in very handy. All comments welcome.

Very cool indeed.

 

Are those mission markings on the nose?

 

I believe they are but don't know what they refer to, the conflict with Georgia perhaps or maybe notable missions the aircraft has carried out over its lifetime, I'm sure somebody will be along that knows the answer.

great you finished it!

turned out very nice!!

 

I like your camera windows! what exactly did you do to them?

:thumbsup:

:partytime:

I sprayed both sides of the lenses with Tamyia Smoke first then masked the inside (there's a specific mask for this in the New Ware Mask set) and sprayed a dark grey circle on the inside of the lens. 

 

Thanks for all all the comments.

brilliant and fantastic looking model of something that shouts seventy's at you.

Guilty to say, one my favourite jets.

All I can remember is 2100mph, and to a impressible 16 year old, fast, said to have cost the Americans Billions in defense against it, and the name Foxbat, says it all.

I've always thought that the Foxbat looks a real mean, purposeful looking machine, and your representation of it fits that description well. Very nice model and you're tempting me to add it to my stash.
