OOB cockpit painting, decals and air-intakes...

Fit isn't the best - but not end of the world either. Braced internally with sprue as would not sit right without.

March 26, 2021
Primer and general fettling of seams, armaments etc.

March 26, 2021
Priming and adding back in the raised panel lines removed from filling and sanding.

I wanted to practice metallic exhaust effects. So extended the area.
13
March 26, 2021
Adding weathering detail and fading to the green accents.
14
March 26, 2021
Beginning to take shape and look a lot sharper - you can't see it, but fair amount of shading on nose cone also.
15
March 26, 2021
Wheels and missiles are hand painted - no masks.
16
March 26, 2021
TOO MANY DECALS! And they're old - so not that great to use either.
17
March 26, 2021
Humbrol diluted wash.
18
March 26, 2021
Wash, weathering and hand painting canopy inside and out.

March 26, 2021
Getting somewhere now... Not historically accurate painting, but artistic licence used...
20
March 26, 2021
Trying really hard to keep my finish as smooth as possible, not an easy task in a garage.
21
March 26, 2021
Adding an indication of external construction/exhaust flow by using paint.
22
March 26, 2021
And we're done! 🙂 Canopy is not fixed.
23
March 26, 2021
tried hard to indicate weathering to external leading surfaces, hope this gives an impression of wear and flight time.

You can (sort of) see the amount of colour blends/passes I applied to the base coat here.
27
March 26, 2021
I have actually accented (with green) the internal exhausts also.

Thanks Gary! Yeah I 'cheated' and stuck a sharks mouth from a Soviet version onto a Ukrainian decalled kit! My boy said why aren't you using the teeth!?... So that was it decision made... Ha! Ha! ?

Thanks Simon, it's really humbling when an older one of my builds pops up again because someone as talented as you comments on it. Very kind of you 👍

Neil I like the build, the weapons are neat! And I like pic 25 as well.
I handled a lot pics for my work using Photoshop, but never did one for my models. 😅

Album info

Hi there,

Thanks for stopping by to view my latest build #17 the Mig-25 Foxbat.

I build straight 'out-of-the-box' endeavouring to show the build journey in as few photographs as possible - this is my reason for utilising montage imagery to help reduce the image count of an album.

This build was uploaded on the 26th March 2021.

I hope that the you find my build journey informative and helpful.
