The R-40 missiles in the kit were really bad; the new ones have now some 50 - 60 parts (per missile):

The plane is 62 cm / 24,5 inch long; I added here my Il-28 (GPM) and the La-15 (Hobby Model) and a one-dollar bill to get a better impression of the size of the MiG-25

During the build, I encountered some problems mainly with the fit. Some parts had the wrong shape and I added some parts painted in gray (one part can be seen on the photo of the bottom between the last gray part and the part in front of it).

Some parts could not be found on the instruction diagrams so I decided to discard these parts. From my point of view the construction ist okay. Thank you very much for your comments and interest!

Rutz

It looks like you have done allot of work on this model. The shear size of the model hides your efforts.


I like the detailed work you have done on the missiles. and you made 4 of them.


Very impressive work.


Regards

Isaac

Thank you!

The MiG-25 from Hobby Model is the best detailled Foxbat one can build out of card. This model has 306 parts + 216 parts for the missiles. And it made a lot of fun although some parts didn't fit well. If you take into account that this model was published in 1997 and compare it to other models from Grabowski at that time, it is a very good model.

The model is 62 cm / 24,5 inches long and has a wingspan of 42 cm / 16,5 inches.
