This is a really nice/good diorama idea I think. It all looks so nice.

Absolutely stunning result kun, cant get more real in modeling than this 👍👍👍 if you photoshopped out the pole in pic 28 no one could tell it's a model.
The blurred PAG base is a cool idea and masterfully executed as well👏🏻

Looks like the real thing. I think that´s the highest praise you can give to a model.

I think all the efforts paid off. One of the best. I have similar kit (BM/BSM) in stash and I'm sure will inspire from yours. Congratulations mate.

Great photo and modelling. I initially thought it was a picture of the real thing. 👍

Wow! Great painting and photography! You did a great job improving the landing gear as well, it's very characteristic of the MiG-31

@Ben M modifying landing gear was the one of the key steps building this aircraft. The MiG-31 main landing gears are very unique that it took me quite some while studying the work principle of it 🙂

Album info

Hello there! I am proud to introduce my newly completed project, an AMK MiG-31BS interceptor in 1/48 scale. The kit is AvantGarde Model Kits | No. 88008 | 1:48 and I created a building thread in the WIP sub-forum here:

britmodeller.com/for..mk-148-mig-31bbs-wip

The fitting of the kit was fine and the building was straight forward except for my modification on landing gear struts. The MiG-31 nose gear is trailing link suspension type and main gear has staggered mounted wheels on a movable bogey on each gear. I managed to modify them as the aircraft was in the air right before pilots raise the gear retraction/extension handle.



The painting was done with Mr.Color lacquer paints. To my astonishment, the R-33 and R-40TD missiles took more time to paint than the airframe itself. Subtle weathering was done with Winsor Newton Oil Colors thinned with Zippo lighter liquids.



The final photos were shot with a Sony A7R3 digital camera with a 24-240mm lens, the lens were really awesome to provide extreme realilty!



Regards, Kun
