MIG-25 1:48th scale


Recommended Posts

This is ICM's Mig 25 in 48th scale.

Built out of the box except for a pilot figure from Aerobonus.

The kit went together with hardly any fuss, especially if you take into account the unusual method of assembly for the fuselage behind the cockpit.

It was made up from side, top & bottom panels with the rear side panels including the fins.

 

I used Humbrol enamels for the overall grey and AK paints for the metallic colours.

Great looking brute!  I've always loved the MiG-25 and wanted one in my collection for years.  Your model might just be the push I needed to order up one for myself.  I love the weathering you've done here and the subtle paint work as well; and adding that pilot does give a good sense of the size of the beast.   Yes, it is big!  And here's a big round of applause for your MiG. 🍻

That is excellent, I really like the way you have weathered the paint work to break up the solid grey (which is something that I worry if I could do with a solid grey colour scheme).

It's the visor.

I used Tamiya's Smoke to paint it.

It is supposed to be clear, but I like the look of it like this :)

Angelo, soviet pilots of MIGs-25 used helmets for high pressure with transparent visor. 1200px-Gsh-6_pilot_helmet.JPG
