I had one of the old 1/72 Hasegawa MiG-25 kits in the bottom of the closet, which was inaccurate and ill fitting, so why not save it from the heap and build what that jet car may have looked like... step by step.

"What-If" MiG rocket car
"What if", the Mig-25 fuselage that was unearthed in Iraq during the war somehow made it into the private hands of a gifted mechanic and dreamer, who concluded since the wings were missing, to build a "rocket car" and run it at the Bonneville Salt Flats! Inflated dreaming, but yes... just what if?

It´s the Foxbat Express. Those conversion projects are cool. Nicely done.
