IanHx Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) For this group build I'll be doing Hasegawa's 1/72 Mig-25 Foxbat. Specifically, the one used by Lt. Belenko to defect to Japan in 1976. . Edited August 2, 2017 by IanHx done 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHx Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 It also means that if I run out of time then I can claim it's a diorama of it being disassembled by the CIA. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHx Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Fuselage closed up, starting on the air intakes. Some kit's have ejector pin marks, this one on the other hand has full double Gloucester cheeses sticking out of the intake walls !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHx Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 I now face a great modelling dilemma - Belenko's aircraft on its famous flight did not carry missiles. But come on, it's a Foxbat - I can't not arm it !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
