HL-10 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 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. Thanks for looking.

Andy Dyck Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hi , amazing weathering job on this one. And the pilot looks nice too. All in all: Fantstic! best regards Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 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. 🍻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 A Foxbat in need of some TLC by the ground crew, apparently. Very convincing finish! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Very nice indeed! The finish and weathering are particularly good. I'm enjoying the rich crop of Foxbats we have on BM at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 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).
