1/48 - MiG-25RB/RBT "Foxbat-B" by Kitty Hawk - released

The reduced sweep on the outer wing leading edge is found only on the interceptor variants (?¿) so the KH wing is good here. 

 

I like the KH camera array pallet. Big improvement over ICM's blank interior. C'mon Aires (or another Czech firm), please give us that as a detail-up set for the ICM -25RBT recce sensors! 

 

Also like the KH exhaust covers. Ditto re ICM: good Quickboost territory for Aires.

 

Also love the fictitious air-to-air missiles on the recce Foxbat markings art: good marketing aimed at ten year olds (adults knowing to leave them off) as kids love whizz-bangs. And nice to see a Bulgarian option on the decal sheet. 

 

Overall, the ICM series still appears to have the edge with MiG-25 airframe accuracy and - supremely - has full inlets (albeit quickly narrowing trompe l'oeil affairs). 

 

With two Revell/ICM Foxbats in the stash I'll pass, but it's nice to see KH upping their game. (Have bought four of its second generation Voodoo kits and wish them well.)  Bit of a race now to see which firm is first to put out a -25PU trainer

 

happy days
