Hello everyone.

This is my recently finished MiG-31 Foxhound, 1/48 scale from Hobby Boss.

Didn't encounter major problems throughout the build.

Hope you like it.

Wow!!

That is certainly not the most typical Foxhound around!!

And well armed it is as well :)

 

Interesting cockpit layout with large screen in the back and old style analogue in the front office ;)

 

Thanks for showing

 

 

great job!

"They" are just 7 prototypes, it has not reached production

I'm not sure "M" was capable of using R-60 (small ones) but it could bear 6 long range R-33/37 with 4 medium range R-77 

 

PS. Checked that - it could be armed with up to 8 R-60 in addition to 6 R-33/37.

Great build of a very impressive beast. I managed to snag one at Telford at the weekend for £30 which seemed pretty reasonable especially as it included some aftermarket resin and PE, (The beautiful Brassin wheels are an improvement on the rubber HB offerings, as is the Master metal pitot). Not as refined as the AMK kit I built earlier but certainly a welcome addition to the collection, especially as it's the more unusual M variant.

057 Blue was the prototype MiG-31M hence the B&W photo calibration markings and wraparound windscreen.

 

AFAIK, it never entered service.

 

It now languishes at Zhukovsky - tucked away on the Mikoyan ramp - where I photographed it in 2007......
