1/144 MIG-25 Foxbat

Here is the Mig-25 by Murphs Models (Aaron Murphy).

The original scale is 1/67, I reduced it to 1/144. I shaded the panel
lines in photoshop, then lightened the color by 15% to allow for scale
effect.

Only minor additions, antennas, pitot tube, and punched wheel covers to center them.

This is not a kit for beginners. I am experienced, and still had trouble with it.
A lot of errors are visible in the pics. The instructions make some of my build
choices questionable at best. Definitely not a contest model.

However, on the shelf, it looks like a Mig-25.

And now, the walk around.

Microsurgery at it's finest!! I love it; and that display base really sets it off.

In admiration, Garry G.
