PASANALA Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi friends. This is my Condor 1/72nd scale Mig 25 P Foxbat It is a hard kit to build. The model represents the machine piloted by Belenko, when he flew to Japan Painted with Gunze and Alclad, with some pigments in exhausts The landing gear is still not weathered with oils. In the afternoon I'll do it I hope you like [/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us [/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us [/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us [/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us [/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us [/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us [/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us [/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Nice! A couple of notes, if you permit? - As I remember the plane did not carry any missiles - Starboard fin radio transparent paint pattern is different 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuts Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi, Very nice build, like the heat staining on the engines.. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASANALA Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hello Pin. . Of course, any problem that your tell your opinions. Moreover, you're right. I think the Mig of Viktor Belenko took off armed but droped missiles over the Sea of Japan before entering Japanese airspace.

rmcclure Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Very cool job indeed. I remember this happening and a few months later I had one of Dad's USAF enemy recognition posters on my bedroom wall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike DeTorrice Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 An excellent build of this extremely interesting Foxbat ! A wonderfully done replica here. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnylurve Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Looks bloody awesome to me- just how a Foxbat should look. I always remember that the Boots (yep, the Chemist) gift guide of 2002 or so vintage had a Mig 25 flight experience listed for the bargain price of £15,000. Now i've searched for spare change in the cracks of my sofa, but have only managed to come up with £13,674. Anyone care to lend me the rest? Promise to pay you back if you just give me your bank details... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZ6 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nice model of a fascinating aircraft which is sadly neglected in kit form. I have a Revell 1:48 one I need to build some day. Regards, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiffy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Very nice looking Foxbat. I've got the same one on the go as well. As you say, it's not a straight forward build, but I have to say I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far. The trickiest bit to me is that rear end, especially around the exhausts. I actually ordered the Click 2 detail burners and they are a big improvement over the kit pieces. I think you've done a very respectable job there and as regard to the missles, well just because the a/c didn't have any hanging of it when it landed in Japan, doesn't mean it was never loaded with missles at any other point during it's flying career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalako Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Very nice work! Can you imagine flying this 'big bird'?! The cockpit's windscreen and canopy look so small. Any info about it's maneuverability? Was it as difficult as the Phantom was? Cheers Sernak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Any info about it's maneuverability? Was it as difficult as the Phantom was? Cheers Sernak She is a big impressive looking beastie, but she's not really a dogfighter. More of an interceptor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Very nice work! Can you imagine flying this 'big bird'?! The cockpit's windscreen and canopy look so small. Any info about it's maneuverability? Was it as difficult as the Phantom was? Cheers Sernak She is a big impressive looking beastie, but she's not really a dogfighter. More of an interceptor. I believe the Mig 25 was developed by the USSR as a response to the proposed B-70 Valkirie hypersonic bomber. By the time the Fox Bat was opperational the B-70 had been cancelled. It could fly fast, in straight lines but as has already been said, it was no dog fighter. Its turning circle was about the same as an oil tanker's!
