Another for you, AvantGarde Model 1:48 MiG-31BM/BSM Foxhound

Another kit recently finished. Difficult build but worth the effort.

Wow! I really like it, the weathering is great! Nice dirty used Russian bird, very nice!

Ok, you mentioned it was a difficult build, how so? I have this kit and would like your input. Anything in particular to look out for?

Thank you for the compliment, very kind! I found that this is engineered so well, seriously, that you have to line up assmblies and sections and push, prod, twist until they “click”, literally, otherwise it doesnt fit. After the click, perfect! You will see. Watch some youtube builds of it and they describe it better. This was actually way above my talent level and tested me greatly. It took me 3 months to finish off and on with other projects also happening, but you see the results. It’s ok.

Looks impressive,I got one in the stash I need to get to.

That is outstanding! I always look at the ordinance on aircraft builds - BTW I’ve never been a judge any any competition but a really great modeler (Jerry Jackson here in San Diego) once told me that every part of the kit is a little model. If you do the ordance right, it’s a sure indicator of a nice build and you sir did well!

You shouldn’t be to hard on yourself, that is a GREAT looking kit. I have the HobbyBoss offering in my stash. Love the Russian jets. Nice, very nice build sir.

Another great build
