almac Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I’m in for this too. I’ve got the Revell re-box of the ICM 1/72 mig-25. Only problem is I’m really itching to start it as it looks superb. Cheers Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'd be up for this one. I've got a couple of Condor 1/72 Mig-25's that I'd like to make a start on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just now saw this made it in. Now to see if we can get enough votes to pass in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) I don’t suppose the 23 could be added too? I ask because a) it probably the only Mig not in a Gb proposal b) it’s probably my favourite mig from that era and c) I bought one for the stash yesterday Edited July 18, 2021 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to remember if there was an attempt at a 23/27 STGB...great idea, though I don't know if we could generate enough interest. I suppose one would never know until we try. Might need to try to have a "Swing Wings GB" or something along those lines to have a slightly broader subject, but keeping little more focused than a general Mikoyan GB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there was a 23/27 stgb attempt. But when we cycled last winter it hadn't enough votes and was sent to the files of old ideas, down in the chat archives. So If someone wanted to they could suggest it ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 strangely it was unpopular, especially so seeing we/ve never had an STGB for them. I'd be happy to support an MiG-23/27 STGB or another Swing Wing GB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there’s an idea, you could start with the German experimentals and go all the way up to the Tornado/ late Cold War MIGs with plenty of types in between.

trickyrich Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 that's an interesting MiG-25, I wonder who makes or probably more the case, who made it originally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit Lioks quite good, the manufacturer appears to be PMS(!). Must check out scalemates and see if I can track it down. No luck but I found another one on eBay Edited August 16, 2021 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There do seem to be quite a few and it looks pretty good there is a 1996 copyright notice in the box ( which I’ve thrown out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 interestingly, if the box art is correct it looks to be an Recon version, an MiG-25RBT, not a commonly found version in that scale at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 A closer view of the box art. There is one on eBay atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 You're going to have to post some photos of the kit itself, as this one is a really mystery model. I though it might be a Condor model re-box, but the copyright is too early, plus the Condor model is more detailed as well. It's the version on the box art which is the most interesting...or confusing, is the kit in the box a RBT? Interestingly doing a search on this model brings up some results, when clicked on show some other MiG-25..... MiG "Click bait"! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I also got a revel Mig 31 yesterday, engineering is very similar but the mouldings are sharper. Edited August 22, 2021 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 ARRRRR 1/144th! I had been looking at 1/72nd models! Ok if I had to have a guess it's either a re-box of the Grandaddy of them all in this scale, the LS model from 1977 or Hobbycraft one in 1984. Both have/are very similar in the parts used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Something tells me they may have used a different kit for the box-art 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Well unless a few more votes are cast our way then we will need to find another reason for building the Foxbats/Foxhounds that we might have bought for this GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
