Slowly

Augie
Gotta love the ICM Mig-25.. its nice simple engineering.
Fits good, slight smear of filler needed in places.

Andy Ball
Slowly. At Mach 3?….splendid start!!

Augie
Thanks guys.

@ roland the oddities of pricing, for me they are about even priced now.

Quick update with where it is.

Augie
Thanks Rpland

jan zumack
Have the same kit, cant wait to build it. Nice work so far... 👍

Augie
Its a great kit, need to be careful with the fueslage, as tolences are close.
Heads above the Kitty Hawk offering.

Augie
Some dirtying up of the metal work..

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic as always, Augie! (NMF painted with a brush?)

Dutch
Augie, beautiful work so far. I especially like the way you painted and weathered the metallic engine area. Please keep a goin'.. K/r, Dutch

Augie
@ Robert, Yep, NMF brush painted. Its not too bad when you know how.
Thanks Dutch 🙂 I will be, this one while taking me a while Is a pleasure

Dutch
Augie, Well I really like what I see so far. MiG-25 is one of my favorite aircraft, not sure why though. Maybe that brute force factor.

Augie
Thanks Dutch, Yeah I like them too for that same reason 🙂

Neil
Looking really good 👍

Augie
Thanks Neil,

she's in decaling at the moment.. will get some pics up soon.

Mona
Augie , do you pre-shade (brush) panel lines ..on you builds ?

Augie
Hi Mona,

I dont preshade, i've tried it and to be honest, I was not overly impressed with the effect.
Ta, Augs

Maciej Bellos
Very nice shiny underside Augs! You are a master of the hairy stick.

Augie
Thanks Maciej 🙂

Augie
Slightly embaressing.. I missed uploading the completed pictures.

Robert Podkoński
That's a beauty!

Jens
Great work, the ICM MiG 25 already has small hidden defects and inaccuracies, but you managed it very well, a very impressive model 👍 I wanted to try the Kitty Hawk MiG 25 PU, let's see how the differences to the ICM MiG 25 RBT then really are 🙂

Andy Ball
It's a biggie! Cracking build!…Guess you'll hope for a Tu-128 next?

Augie
Thanks Andy, I'd love a Tu-128 🙂

Andy Ball
It's pretty big in 72nd…48th…would be huge!

Augie
yeah it would be.. but then there are other aircraft I would prefer to see in 48th first.

Dutch
Augie! Wow! Another stunner! I really like your workmanship, and subtle weathering. The multi-shaded engine bays are particularly nice. I remember building the Revell kit way back inthe day. It was a beast! This one is just so, .... sophisticated. Nice work. Dutch

Augie
Thanks Dutch 🙂 much appriciated as always.

I do like the ICM MiG-25's long as your sensible they make for a very relaxing and easy build I find 🙂

Donald Dickson II
As always, well done!!!!

John
Love it! 👍

Augie
Thanks Guys 🙂

David Taylor
Smart.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work. The metal effects are very good.

John
Oh, the crazy people at Jetmads are supposedly making a 1/48 Tu-128. I'd love one (I love funky Soviet-era jets) but I'm sure it won't be in my budget.

The Tu-128 would be cool, though. When an F-106 and a B-58 love each other very much...

"Comrade Premier, the Americans have two new planes, which one would you like us to make an equivalent of, the F-106 or the B-58?"

"Da."

Robert Podkoński
It should be: "Comrade First Secretary..." and the answer should be: "bigger than both of them!" 😄

jan zumack
Nice Work. 👍

Augie
Thanks Jan

Rui S
Well done 👍

Augie
Thanks Rui

Augie
🙂 its ok Roland, and yeah they are bigger than you think similar to an F-14 in size.

Clifford Keesler
Very nice Augie. How did I miss this one?

Augie
Its ok Clifford, I keep missing yours too lol

David H
Missed the finish ?? I missed the whole thing !!!, looks fantastic..

Augie
Thanks Daveid 🙂
