1:72 Condor MiG-25P Foxbat A Azerbaijan


Recommended Posts

The 1:72 Condor kit of the MiG-25 built as an Azeri Air force MiG-25P, one of the various MiG-25P/PD etc aircraft inherited by Azerbaijan after the break up of the Soviet Union.

 

Bit of a rough kit this one as mine some of the parts that make up the rear fuselage were a bit warped, so many large gaps needed filling.

The exhaust parts were not a good fit either.

Used metal undercarriage legs from SAC as the kit legs did not look strong enough to support the weight of the model. Even in 1:72, the MiG-25 is big and needs a big chunk of something heavy in the radome to stop it being a tail sitter.

 

Overall Model Master 1730 grey.

 

Decals are from Linden Hill Decals. Sheet No LHD72021 Post Soviet Air Forces Series: Azerbaijan. No issues with these decals, but since they are multi layer decals, I took my time letting the decals dry thoroughly before putting another gloss coat over the decals before putting the next layer on, as I did not want the decal underneath to move.

Beautiful work Ryan. Like Scimitar I'd not seen an Azerbaijani Foxbat before and I quite like the markings.

 

On a controversial note, it's so refreshing to see a Foxbat with a skin not criscrossed with dark grid lines!
