jonbryon Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Here's my latest completion: AMK's 1/48 MiG-31BS 'Foxhound' with metal upgrade set for the undercarriage and nose pitot. The main colour is Mr Paint and the decals are from the kit. It's a great kit, but not perfect. More details here: https://jonbryon.com/amk-1-48-mikoyan-mig-31bs-foxhound/ Thanks for looking Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Wow that looks great Jon . No ordnance? Actually looks pretty fast without it. Love the subtle weathering and I will check out your link for the build blog. You know the more I see of the MiG 31 builds I really should pick up one. Had that silly Lindberg kit many years ago so I am glad I gave it away and only had to wait a decade to see a state of the art kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No ordnance: I don't like adding it to models :) You should get one; it's an amazing kit. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravosierra001 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I really like the look of this build. Very clean and sleek looking. Well done sir! Brandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Wow, really sleek build! Nothing to critique build wise on it, but if you plan to build another one some day (you should! :P) i would recommend; - Get the Eduard resin wheels. Worth every penny. The wheels are pretty much the only weak point detailwise OOB on the kit and resin replacements will really lift the model. - I am a believer that wiring on landing gear really helps the model a lot too, especially for a large model like this one and in a large scale like this. Otherwise it looks slightly bare, imho. But as said otherwise it is a fantastic model, well done! On 11/30/2017 at 8:41 PM, skyhawk174 said: Wow that looks great Jon . No ordnance?

Were I doing it again I would definitely get the Eduard wheels. Sadly, life's too short and there are too many other models :) The one thing that really irritates me is the four missing pitots (?) under the front fuselage.
