Seamus Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Morning all, My modelling time has slowed a bit after a busy month getting out and about photographing real aircraft, but I've been slowly tinkering away in the background and have finished my latest build this morning, ICM's awesome 1/72 MiG-25. Despite the fairly complex assembly, the model comes together beautifully with relatively little filling and sanding required. Built completely OOB, I used MRP Traffic Grey for the main colour, while the details and metallic areas were painted using my more usual Hataka Orange Line and Alclad lacquers respectively. Overall, a fabulous kit of this absolute brute of a jet ICM 1/72 MiG-25BM Foxbat by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr ICM 1/72 MiG-25BM Foxbat by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr ICM 1/72 MiG-25BM Foxbat by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr ICM 1/72 MiG-25BM Foxbat by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr ICM 1/72 MiG-25BM Foxbat by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Thanks for looking, comments welcomed as always, Shaun 51 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Shaun, your models are very impressive. Any thoughts on doing a WiP for your next one so we can see how you get such great results ? Great MiG-25BM btw. Regards Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Robert Thanks Robert, I don't really bother with WIPs as it invovles setting the photo tent up each time, which is just far too much hassle! But, I'm happy to do one with dodgy phone pics on my next build if you're interested 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
