Most progress was made in the Mig-25 project: conformal tanks are fitted, puttied and sanded smooth. Here a picture with the centerline tank in place.

Looking better by the day. :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Testing placing of the weapons under the conformal tanks and wings. Not decided if it needs air-to-air missiles like R60-ies.......If ic hose to do so, I gues they're placed on the side of the most inboard hardpionts, F-15 style....

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Agreed  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

They look absolutely brutal and unmistakably Soviet.

Which means they're going to be lovely :wub:

Time for an update:

No heavy strikefighter is "real" if it doesn't carry bombs. So, I checked how many stations it could carry on the tanks (just like the F-15E) and came to four (inline) in two rows per side. But that wasn't enough...the parts bin provided me two rather cluncky looking MER's, perfect!

I took all medium sized bombs from an Italeri Il-28 kit and made a mould of it. Now the last set of four bombs is setting and this bring the total to 28 bombs (I guess all FAB-500's). For self-defence four Atoll's will be carried F-15 style, two missiles on the inner wing hardpoint...

Only the outer stations have to be "filled" with ornance.....what to put on it?

Not happy with the "odd rods" IFF antennea just in front of the canopy.....

Enjoy your weekends!
