1/48 Lindberg MiG-31 BS

--------------------

 

After more than one year, I finished my MiG-31 BS.

This is the first version of this plane, which was updated to the second (MiG-31 B ), but without the air refueling system and gun.

I saw this kit on e-bay, and I thought I have to have it ->I paid 48 EURO`s ( that`s about 75 US$) !!!! It is the only existing kit.

I found a few drawing of the MiG-31, which I took as references:

I modify.........it might be easier to tell you, which parts I didn't change: the tailerons and the front gearwheels ( take a look at jpg.10 ) !!!!!!!!

Weapons: the R-40 was taken by the Revell MiG-25PD, and the R-33 are modify AIM-54 PHOENIX, which I took from a Monogram f-14 kit.

Maingear wheels: this parts were taken by OZE Su-7 BKL kit's.

Ejectionseat: this are K-36M form PAVLA

Things like radom and additional fueltank's, I  built myself.

I'm working on a complete MiG- and Su-collection in 1/48, and this plane was one of the missing links. Now I'm trying to find a 1/48 kit from the Mig-9 and Su-24.
