Zmey Smirnoff Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) I am still unsure which camo or decals will end up on this bird. I just hope it wont end up unfinished as 3 previous builds. Maybe I'll make a poll as it gets closer to the painting phase to help me decide. This is two days after I started And this is after yesterday's session. Coming along nicely for now. Comments welcomed!

Azgaron Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Very nice start! Which camo options do you have? Cheers, HÃ¥kan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Nice choice! In all its weirdness the U somehow manages to look good. If not good, then cool at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragan_mig31 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 you can make it Indian AF mig-25.it looks great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zmey Smirnoff Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 If I can find decals, this 25U will be Azerbaijani. Always wanted one of those birds on my shelf. If you can remember any 1/72 Az decals manufacturers please chime in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Nice start Z! I see the fit is rather good (for ex Soviet bird that's not moulded by Tamiya anyway). Keep up the good work. Oh, I have the following decals in my stash, if they would be of any help to your project: http://www.arcair.com/ISL/Hi-Decal_Line/1....-25/HD72028.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I think i'm in a better place now, mentally. So I'm ready to re-start modeling. It just occured to me yesterday that this could be an AZ build. Hopefully I can find at least some photos of their 25U... no shortage of singleseat photos though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zmey Smirnoff Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Sparka is coming along. Painted it grey few minutes ago. Going to mask it further tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zmey Smirnoff Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 I havent realized how much dexterity I lost in almost a year of not building. I remember *how* to do this or that, but "skill" just evaporated from my hands... wow. I wont be taking breaks like that anymore. Anyhow, Azerbaijan MiG-25U is complete. Thanks to Raymond who agreed to trade some decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jarred Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 fantastic model but where is the weathering? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

janman Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Nice job with this quite exotic bird! I also seems the "Snowmageddon" has hit your backyard as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cpoud117 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Neat Job Z! That Foxbat looks ace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pkrasna Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The model looks really great! You shoud be photographing your model in shade and not on the bright sun. The shadows are to dark. Primož Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mario krijan Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 After all model looks very very nice!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Noce looking model, Zmey. But you better changed Azerbaijan insignia on fins - half moon on national insignia on fins maut be look to aircraft nose section on both fins, so stars must be look to end size of aircraft - to exhaust. On wings half moon must be look to left hand (if you look to front insignia veiw) on all surfaces. In many Muslim ciuntries is wery important orientation of half moon on national insignia, and in different countries its different rools Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zmey Smirnoff Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks guys! I'll make new photos before the GB is over. As far as weathering, there will be none. AzAF 25s are pretty clean. I just cant muster the very light weathering that would look realistic in 1/72. As far as insignia goes, thats a huge boo-boo on my part. I should have paid closer attention. But its all water under the bridge now. I cant fix that. Another problem that I am aware of is that AzAF MiG-25's insignia are tiny comparing the that on Su-24 or any other aircraft in their inventory. I dont know the reason for it, but I'd need 1/144 decals to make insignia for 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Great looking MiG! It's an inspiration: I just fondled mine, but quickly closed the box and put it back in the stash; too many other projects to finish first..... Are there any pics of Azeri MiG-25s (or other a/c) online somewhere??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zmey Smirnoff Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Are there any pics of Azeri MiG-25s (or other a/c) online somewhere??? Thanks! I'm sure there are. I dont know if you can see this http://milkavkaz.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55 since you arent a member, but there are plenty of photos. Check militaryphotos.net and irandefence.net forum as well. If you are looking for something specific - let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
