Ryan Hothersall Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 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.

stevehnz Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Nice one Ryan, from what I've read of this kit you've done a excellent job of overcoming its shortfalls. 👍 Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfinished project Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Nice clean looking machine you’ve built and as said before unusual markings which makes this big beast stand out 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
