You would be surprised seeing the price of such inflatable decoys... It makes you wonder if they do not use pure silk...

I hope to buy several of these if they are available for purchase. Several because my skills with resin or other more rare and advanced models are limited, so it will take me several tries to build it I fear.

 

I hope that might give me room to express an opinion: I think the nose is too short currently. Here is an approximate comparison with the computer graphics model  by Samedov on sketchfab. I compared that model to some plan views and it looked like it mostly matched.

For some reason many of the Mig25 models get the nose shape wrong (in my opinion). It has a subtle shape, the bottom part extends below the main fuselage giving it the look of sloping downward, and the shape changes from the front to back from round to more square/oval. In my opinion the nose on the KittyHawk 1:48 model was so bad that I could not buy that model (though I badly wanted a large scale model). The ICM -PD (or D?) model is better but somehow not quite right.
