Mig-25 video

Hello. I just found this excellent video.

I have also visited this same museum ten years ago.

It is very interesting to see the welded seams on a fighter aircraft which is usually a big NO NO on western airplanes.

I think this plane is so ugly it's good. I could imagine making a scale model of this someday, even though I'm not even an airplane builder.

It's not ugly. It's very Russian though, and very much built for purpose. I love it.

In the 70´s it looked very futuristic and cool to me.

Cheers Rob

Jeez! That thing is rough. Built like a tractor.

There is definitely something cool about this jet. ...it wasn't that different from the high speed designs of that time.

I already announced that this year, in addition to superdetails for the Trumpeter Vought Crusader F-8 in 1/32 scale, We are preparing a high-quality 1/32 scale MiG-25 for 2026.

However, someone mentioned that Trumpeter is planning its own 1/32 scale MiG-25 for 2027. For now, the decision has been made to focus on the numerous improvements to the F-8, as well as creating the RF-8 conversion.

It's going to be such a large undertaking that it will take time to clarify whether Trumpeter will actually release it and, if so, when. From there, a decision will be made regarding whether to improve their model or create our own. ( with their model or not )

We've been studying for two years how to make a complete model with 3D laser quality, but the cost of the resin and the labor makes it unfeasible for even a minimum number of copies ( if we want to achieve a quality that more than compensates for the precision design effort and time ). This is... if you plan a.... model... 🤥... is fine. But if you want to make THE MODEL... 🧐... no. 

Therefore, if the quality of Trumpeter's fuselage and wings are good, it would be worthwhile to use their body to create a good upgrade. If not, we'll move on.

I just checked out your website to see what you have to offer. I'm amazed at how accurate the models you've created.🥇

Thank you very much. As you can see, it's a lot of work. That's why I talk about making the MIG-25 as "the model," not "a model."
