MiG-25PB finishes in Soviet Service

There was an antenna of RSB-70/RSP HF communication system embedded in the leading edge of the left vertical stabilizer, usually painter with dark-grey , same as the colour used on radome.

Metal. More precisely, VNS-4 grade tempered corrosion resistant steel.

Some PD/PDS and BM models depicted unpainted wing and horizontal tail leading edges. Reason: mainly cosmetic.

Oh snap , total brain-fart, sorry guys, I was thinking "vertical" for some reason.

Leading and trailing edges are good!  I can foil them with little fear of peeling.

[Ivan Ivanovich]

Leading edges only. The trailing edges were painted.

I appreciate the help.  Of course, the missus could foil my plan by not getting me the item at the top of my Christmas wish list. 

For her part, she doesn't have a wish list, which forces me to fumble about trying to get her a gift.

Housewares don't apply, because she says they are for the house.   Why can't wimmin be simple to buy for??  Dammit.   She doesn't knit, do pottery, or collect knick-knacks.  She got overstocked on perfume last year and I teched her up with the new Ipad last year.  That pretty much leaves jewelry.  Hell, she barely even drinks!

No wonder men have a lower average life expectancy than women...

I leave that one for the daughter to get her.  But thanks for the suggest.   Part of the gift giving ritual is to talk with other rellies about what they want to buy so there aren't any duplicates.
