Pierre Sacha Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Good day guys, Is it just me or are there no decal sheets for a Soviet era Russian MiG-25, specifically the PD version? I have the ICM MiG-25 PD and wanted to do the box top bird but on some other website a Russian modeler mentioned that BORT 56 is in fact a PDS (converted P), meaning I apparently cannot fit that humongous belly tank. I googled everywhere, Begemot, Linden Hill, Ebay etc. and no joy. I apologise if it sounds whiny but I really want to have a Russian PD with the belly tank in my display case. Anyone have any good news? Regards, Pierre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Man, you seem to be right. I checked all the Mig-25 decal sets I could find online and none have a Russian PD option. Lots of PDs for other countries. Lots of other versions for Russia. Fundekals makes a Mig-25 Bort number decal sheet (see link below). You could maybe piece something together from various sets. https://www.ebay.com/itm/fundekals-1-48-MiG-25-Bort-Numbers-Decal-Set/163688291685?hash=item261c951d65:g:ltcAAOSwGrNc2bJe:sc:USPSFirstClass!53211!US!-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pierre Sacha Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thanks kindly Mstor, great idea, since the stenciling would more or less be the same, and those are thankfully included. Think I'll do that! Regards Pierre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boom175 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I have never seen a photo of a PD with the ventral fuel tank fitted. I've read they were capable of using them buy I have never sen a picture of a interceptor Foxbat with that big ol tank. I would love to see one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A cursory google images search seems to show a few so doesn't seem to be that rare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floggerman Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 But this is neighter an interceptor nor a PD... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that is a recon bird, complete brain shut down, sorry. I entered PD in the search box and didn't really pay attention. I guess this question was asked already some years ago. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/203697-fuel-tank-in-the-icm-mig-25-kit/ Edited June 21, 2019 by ijozic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
