DIO Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 All I need is the new nose. For the rest I will wait for another release to come ;-)
Laurent Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 All I need is the new nose. For the rest I will wait for another release to come ;-) DIO, please look at the date of the previous post. I'm afraid it won't happen.
DIO Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 That's bad news. It already looked so tempting :-(
SleeperService Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Given the investment KH must have made I would have thought releasing it as a conversion if not a full kit would have made sense. Hopefully the work won't be wasted.

exdraken Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 An Indian PU? Really? India only operated recce Foxbats... Weren't there any other real PU users out there?
ICMF Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 India operated the MiG-25 RU. KH Probably thought it was 'close enough'. 1 1
Hook Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Since both the PU and RU were based on the interceptor airframe, externally the only difference is that the PU could be fitted with underwing missile pylons. Cheers, Andre
Col. Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Quite tempted by this one but only if it isn't a horrific price, horrible to build, and/or horrendously inaccurate. Given KH's previous form I don't much fancy my chances. 3

Cheers, Andre Thanks, did not know that.... a bit strange though... What about the nozzles? Short or long ones?

Short nozzles, as on the interceptor. As well as the cranked wing instead of the straight one of the operational recce variants. The only differences were the electronics fitted, plus the deletion of the underwing pylon option which the fighter trainers had. Cheers, Andre 1

Cheers, Andre Yeah... probably too late already! Good that those twoseaters are also armed to the teeth! https://beavercorp.jp/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Kitty-Hawk-新商品注文書-148-MiG25PU-2019.08.21.pdf Thanks for the info regarding the RU! I really thought they were based on the RB.... Edited September 1, 2019 by exdraken

Well, the PU could carry dummy AA-6 missiles. Quote Thanks for the info regarding the RU! I really thought they were based on the RB.... I contrast to the singleseaters, the MiG-25PU was the first trainer variant to fly. It was probably uneconomical to base the recce trainers on the recce airframe, considering the small numbers built. Cheers, Andre 1
exdraken Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I have no Idea how much they differed ... If you coukd craft a recce nose onto a fighter variant e.g.... at least physically! That comes with my not-understanding if the need to have all those differences in the beginning! Kinked wing, long nozzles, etc.... performance?

Kinked wing, long nozzles, etc.... performance? The interceptor wings has slightly more span too. My best guess would be that the recce / strike models were geared more towards allout performance and range (longer exhausts = a higher finesse ratio = less drag, less wing span ditto), while the interceptors would probably have slighty more manoeuvrability (in the case of the Foxbat this is rather relative, of course!) due to the wing mods. Another one is that some of the recce models received an extension to the upper intake lip to compensate for the higher weight when bombed up. Cheers, Andre
