I hope 6 R-37 missiles are included and not just the 4 shown on the weapons color profile. It does seem to say 6x so it should be fine.

 

There probably will be some minor issues (like e.g. panel lines), but judging from the airplane color profile, it does look like a MiG-31M (bigger radome, new canopy for the radar operator, radar scope screen for the front cockpit, bigger hump, extended wing LERX, wingtip ECM pods, 6 ejectors for R-37 missiles, no gun pod, extended rudders). Don't see the roots of the vertical stabilizers very well, but they might be OK for the 057 Blue (the final MiG-31M prototype). The dielectric areas on top of the vertical stabilizers seem to extend slightly too much downwards, they should be triangle shaped, I think.

 

Of course, I hope the plastic matches the color profile and I'll definitely get one (despite the pretty ugly box art :) ).

One small thing- MiG-31BM is not carrier of A-S Kinzhal missile, MiG-31BM - air defence interceptor.

MiG-31K - Kinzhal version, and it have some visual differences from MiG-31BM, especial at bottom part of fuselage and nose section.
