david sMiGielski Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 One of my recently finished builds. Kittyhawk's much discussed MiG-25 converted into a BM armed for an SEAD mission. Nose, missiles, and pylons are from a 3D printed conversion set I found online. It was designed for the Monogram kit but worked with KH's version with a bit of sanding and filling. Other than that--and some adjustment of the wings to match the BM--the kit was built out of the box. Painting her was the real challenge. First tried Vallejo Model Air but the colors didn't look right and I hated the way they spray (more power to those who can make these paints work). I ended up going back to Tamiya acrylics and don't know why I ever thought about trying something else. Decals were from the spares box. The nose number isn't accurate but I like the contrast of the red on the camo scheme. All in all, KH's kit wasn't the nightmare so many claim. Definitely not a shake the box kit, but a fun build.

Falconxlvi Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I love this scheme on the MiG-25! Kudos to you for finishing the Kittyhawk kit as well. I hear it’s a real bear to build. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
