Here are some shots of my submisison to the PLANES OF THE RED STAR GB.
My First GB ever.
Comments/criticisms are welcome.
I proudly present Revell’s HUGE 1/48 scale MiG-25 FOXBAT!!
(Note the lazy daschunds in the background soaking up the sun.)
Note how it dwarfs even the huge F-105 for scale.
wow fantastic build. i really like the pics taken from below the plane. gives a nice scale look to it
Wow! I like that! I’ve not seen that kit built up before, you have done a fantastic job. Is it built straight from the box? Regards, Darren.
Great build. Did you use any AM parts? I have that old kit but haven’t even thought of building it. That gives me the incentive to build mine now.
Nice Work!
Good looking build, I really like the paint finish.
Great looking build love the paint job on it. Never knew the kit was so big, first one that I have seen built.
You forget how darn big those Soviet planes were until you compare it side-by-side. Thanks for sharing, great work!!
Thanks for the input guys…it means alot.
The kit was 95% built from the box, however I rescribed all the panel lines which were originally raised.
I was not aware there was an AM cockpit set available until I had pretty much closed up the kit. I installed a spare panel from an old F-105 in the pit just to replace the original decal, but its a moot point since you cannot see in anyhow.
If anything I would have liked to have a good set of AM Afterburner cans because those big old nozzles just beg for detailing…but alsa none are available and my scratchbuilding skills are non-exixtant.
Again thanks for the comments

Excellent work on the Mig. Very nice pics as well. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Rick
Very nice work on the Foxbat. The paint job is exceptionally well done, but is there really that much contrast between the panels?

Looks great!!!
Nice job,I really like that.What kind of details comes with the kit?I have been thinking of buing one just because I have always liked the looks of the foxbat.Great work cj,Digger.
Looks great…where did you find that kit, by the way? I didn’t think that they made it anymore…
Sweet looking Foxbat. The MiG-25 was really a significant aircraft in Soviet aviation history. I built that kit way back in the late 70s/early 80s when it first came out. There’s not much in the way of detail, as there wasn’t much real information available, but it did look sinister…It’s too bad that Revell (or anybody else) ever released an updated version of the kit.
Nice looking build. That Foxbat sure is a beast.
That’s one hell of a large model. Fantastic work. Beautifully done.
Great photos of a great build. Nice job.
