Your MiG looks great 👍🏻 so it was worth the pain

Jens
Thanks Thomas, I'm really happy if the MiG 31 B is popular in the pictures, in the meantime a MiG 25 PU has also been completed and a new project is on the workbench, your compliments are real motivation 🙂

live-resin.com, known for the 35 figures for the Blak Hawk series by Kitty Hawk, has a wonderful top quality figure set of mechanics and pilots for the 48 figures of the Suchoj series by GWH, Hobby Boss etc. 👍

For all fans of the T-14 Armarta there is a version at live-resin.com/ , this kit is unfortunately not yet published by scalemates 😉 the quality of the resin model is absolutely convincing 👍

Jens
yes Maciej, an original Putty Hawk Putty model 🙂
You don't get many accessories for it anymore, so I made a mix of what the instructions offer in resin and plastic, it's a pity that the metal reinforcement for the chassis (MiG 25 PD Kitty Hawk 0 in the PU set is missing, the resin chassis should you exchange for one of the Resi Kit 3 D for the MiG 25, you must have the Eduard Set for the air intakes, or you can use plastic and engrave everything yourself ......

My time window is getting narrower and narrower if I wanted to show what I had planned in Siebenlehn 🤔anta:

<but the nice thing about all projects is, at some point the light comes at the end of the tunnel 😄

Glossy paint is on it, decals will follow in the next steps and then it should be done, if the word if wasn't there, because paint accidents with the MRP colors are probably part of it...
The color is not sensitive to tape, but I haven't been able to find a miracle cure for scratches or light impact damage, maybe the Gunze GX gloss varnish puts an end to that

GWH does not seem to have a consistent quality management. I've heard very mixed opinions about the manufacturer. From miserable to ok 😄 Haven't built any of them yet, but have one in my stash. I'm curious...

Jens
I built the MiG 29 AS in tiger look, 2 FW 189 and a TBD-1 Devastator from GWH, all very convincing kits, but the first MiG 29 9.12 and the current 9.13 are probably absolute zero numbers in terms of quality and research, overall It's expensive, but way better than the Academy Kit, and if you then put a Kitty Hawk kit on the table, then even the 9.13 can be described as a recovery

Jens
I decided on the MiG 25 PU because the type is rarely seen in a 48 scale, which can mean: it can't be built even by professionals, or it's not interesting enough because of the optics, the start has been made and you decide directly, resin for that Cockpit and landing gear or plastic, I go the way of mixing because typically Kitty Hawk everything is not always really well thought out or done well.....

Jens
Kitty Hawk also supplies PE particles, but why? , in the air intake, the profile sheets should be installed over the entire surface and slightly curved, all efforts to bring them into position fail miserably, because it is brass and not rubber :3:
2. Misplacement of the trigger handle for the seat, either the flight instructor had incredible confidence or enough vodka ..., the brackets can be found neither in plastic nor as a resin or PE part, although at least shown in the blueprint ...., a lot to me Copper wire in the eye, so quickly bend a replacement, even if it's not perfect or true to size, but the look is right :3: :3:

It's still relatively relaxing, I keep looking at a construction report on the MiG 25 PD from Kitty Hawk, very detailed and informative, since it's the same basic model, but also the horror news in advance, as with ICM, the "experts" have the engines the MiG 25 RB / RBT realized, there are 2 possibilities, Resikit for almost 30 euros plus shipping and the meanwhile merciless import duties or a saw/mill and the existing plastic trimmed to size

wenn Du schnell genug bist , die ersten Zvezda sind in der EU angemommen 🙂 https://ebay.de/itm/26608047..t_ver=artemis&media=MORE
