Andreas LuxThank You Erik and Gianluca!
The wiring was only possible because the Mig-25 has such large wheels 😉

DanielThe model is top notch and your style of presentation as well 👍 A feast for the eyes!
I also like this particular aerobonus pilot (he is Italian for sure 😃) The ones I have seen in modern NATO jets from them look like alien zombies imo

Andreas LuxHello Daniel, thank you very much for your nice feedback 😃 In my opinion, the figures from Aerobonus have very exaggerated details. Up close it looks very strange 😜 But that's exactly what I like about these figures!

VincentThis is amazing. Great work on the electronics. The displaybase makes for a great presentation!!!

Andreas LuxThank you very much Oleg, Jan and Ben! I was so fascinated by the fold-out headlights of the Mig-25 that I really wanted to highlight them as an eye-catcher. That's why they received lighting. I'm glad you like it 😃

CaptGPFRouting the power feed through the wheel and then through the brake lining was a master stroke IMHO!
