Mig 25 Foxbat 1/72 hasegawa

Post by Flipper23 »

Here my latest build from an old hasegawa mold
The stand come from a commercial bombardier model and has been modified and decorated with a log Mig XXV original pin.
The pilot come from pj high altitude French Air Force and modified.
All decals from spares and the gray paint is the basic tamya primer weathered.

A really classic looking Foxbat.

Very nice model and also very nice stand!
I like to carve old kits into something roughly aircraft/tank shaped... :grin:

Brilliant job!
the gray paint is the basic tamya primer weathered.
Ha! I used exactly the same paint on the Foxbat I blitzed last week :mrgreen:
Didn't have time to weather mine though, so it comes nowhere close to the quality of this build.
Must.....build....ALL the Sopwith Camels!...

That's a great looking MiG-25, Flipper and nicely posed on the stand.

Top job from that old kit!
Nicely presented as well. The MiG 25 pin is a great idea.

Cheers,

Col Viktor Belenko's gift to Japanese model makers is showing it's age now

But you've shown that a great result is entirely possible

Miko (when I see those old photo's of 'Red 31' and the crowd gathered around it I wonder which one was the Hasegawa mold designer? The one with the tape measure I suppose! Ha!)
