This model is
based on the MiG-31BM aircraft shown at the Moscow Air Show in 1999.
It is by far not a perfect replica, as I built it mostly out of the
box without any upgrades to the not-so-accurate Revell AG / Zvezda kit. The
shape of the intakes is wrong (consistent with the early production variant of
the aircraft) and the refuelling probe is missing. I also decided not
to include any missiles or fuel tanks.

The model was painted with
regular brushes only (no airbrush used). The decals are out of the box
(except the number "58" on both sides below the cockpit).
The
Mikoyan Corporation logo visible on the left intake is placed
slightly lower than it should be - my mistake.
