Decided to scratch-build the thruster ports and tail cone for the AA-6 Acrid missiles for my FoxBat. The original missiles that came with the kit may as have well have been twinkies.

Greg Solomon
Added side thruster thingys.... scratch built from old sprew. Also re-engraved some pannel lines. The fins are still way too thick but I'm getting tired of fooling with these things... so its off to the paint booth!

picture 10 seem like a lot of work to go ... wow ...
I am excited about ...

Michel Huijghe
A daring project considering that Kitty Hawk will release one soon.

Greg Solomon
Argh! Story of my life! Work my buut off trying to make a bland model look a lot better, and someone releases it with new tooling! Oh well. Do you kow the scale of the Kitty Hawk version?

Albi Hitz
You do the right thing Greg ... I'm sure your Foxbat will became a beauty (... or a beast 😉 )
by the way :MiG-25 PD/PDS Foxbat (Kitty Hawk KH80119, 1:48)

Michel Huijghe
@Greg
The Kitty Hawk Mig-25 will be in 1/48th scale.

Greg Solomon
Cool, hope to see it sometime. Maybe it will be at the IPMS US convention in Colorado in August this summer? I'm going to it!

Greg Solomon
Little by little I'm gettig to the point I can start painting this thing! I had to take a break when I had to go in for surgery on my plumbing a few weeks ago, and then my back gave out and I have been slowely recovering from that. Now I am getting a cold. Sheesh! What did I do to deserve this?

Greg Solomon
Got the pre-shading done and the canopy inside paint. I'm assuming its aqua blue, refference photos don;t show much. Next, the over-all paint color. Hopefully my preshading with show through!

Es-haq Khosravi
Nice!!

Greg Solomon
Thanks!

Greg Solomon
Finally finished my Fox Bat! Took all summer and into the fall... But it was fun.

Adam Carter
What a beast! Love it

Christian Lehmann
Nice result and extra details

Greg Solomon
Thanks guys, it was fun to weather... lots of streaks, rain drip marks, discolored panels, darkened panel lines... real "used" looking... I read that a lot of Russian planes were not housed in hangers and really took a beating from the elements.

Clifford Keesler
Nice job.

Greg Solomon
Thanks, weathering is sure nice to help hide any flaws.... Hard to do that with new, shiny sport cars!

Wim van der Luijt
Great looking piece of cold war hardware...it is a big beast isn't it?

Michel Huijghe
Not bad at all and that for an old model. 👍

Greg Solomon
Thanks, I wish I had known about the Kitty Hawk version before I spent so much time on the Revell model.

Es-haq Khosravi
Excellent job!!!

Greg Solomon
Thanks Es-Haq, I'd love to see a real FoxBat in person! Next is the Vought V-173 flying pancake!I think I'll incorporate a bottle of maple syurp with it!
