Still have not been able to find any link to the decal options in the new RB boxing - anyone have the kit and able to post a scan of the decals or marking options please or know of link with the decals????

 

It's two Soviet machines, 55 and 57 blue, an Egyptian and one Iraqi version, all grey paint schemes.

While on the subject, one difference between the two 1/72nd ICM recce Foxbat kits released so far is that the RB nose has recesses for what looks like extra ECM blisters, which do not show up in the RBT instructions.

 

I cannot find any mention of this in my MiG-25 resources (Yefim Gordon "MiG-25 Foxbat: Guardian of the Soviet Borders" book, WAPJ MiG-25/31 variant briefing). 

 

Does anyone know?

 

Cheers,

The two blisters was part of the early RB navigation radar gear. The later RBT etc versions had the bigger ventral Doppler bulge.

 

Excellent, exactly what I was looking for  - thanks! 

 

The funny thing is, with your information I can make the diferences out on the line drawings in the Yefim Gordon book - the text does not point out the external differences.

 

The WAPJ feature does not feature a line drawing of the RBT at all. 

 

Cheers,

Release expected in Aprils 2019 - ref. 72174 - MiG-25RBF "Foxbat-D" 

 

Another musthave. The RBF was never exported like the RB / RBT, was it?

 

Cheers,

I like the Hasegawa box art of their 1/72 ICM RBT re-pop (Much more striking than the ICM box tops) the only thing that puts me off is the price hike over the ICM kit and the prospect of the Hasegawa yellowing decals which can ruin your day! Otherwise looks very nice!

Not sure which box art ICM will release for the RBF release, there is the above box art and the below box art from their site?

I prefer door #2 - much more atmospheric!

That company has also some other interesting products.

Anybody knows about quality ?

I've bought and used their intakes for Academys 1/48 Phantom. While not a1:1 drop fit replacement, they have good details, but requires some fettling to install.
