CRAZY IVAN5 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 1 hour ago, ringleheim said: I would also vote for the MiG-25 Foxbat. It's kind of a basic, slab designed plane too, which has to help. The thing just looks like it has brutal amounts of power and is kind of a classic shape IMO. Look at the SIZE of those engines! LOL I've personally stood right next to those engines and you bet they're big! Proof positive you can get anything off the ground if you hang enough horse[power on it!

I know there is the 1/18 thing on the market, but that is more of a toy than a model kit. A 1/24 Me-262 is definitely something I would try to make for myself if I had the equipment and knowledge to do it. HpH made a very large and very detailed one but it is quite expensive...

That was my take on it, anyway. Hi guys, the poll determined that Mig 25 was the top vote getter. With others receiving fewer votes. I will use these rankings in determining which project to work on next. Actually it could be anything in the top five. So stay tuned.

Out2gtcha Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Mig-25! Very cool! Dandiego and dutik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Gotta finish the Cutlass.... Also, incredibly, I have no reference material on the -25. A small problem that I am working on. Best reference will actually be a detailed 3 view with cross sections. Dan Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a look as I possibly have plans with cross-sections somewhere... Alain Gadbois and Dandiego 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Two printed sources: Mir aviatsii 4/98 + 1/99 from Russia Aviachia i vremya 5/2004 from Ukraine We are talking about poster-sized drawings, not book/magazine size, of course. A2 size, sometimes printed front and back to show the aircraft from every side plus it's details. Great stuff. The drawings differ a bit in details, but this might be related to the different versions or subseries of the particular aircraft that was used to make the drawings. I've plowed up my bookshelf, but I don't have these issues. Maybe M-Hobby (Russia) had a set of drawings in one of the many issues, but I don't know about this (they have Mig-31 drawings, and I own this issue of M-Hobby). M-Hobbys drawings are nice, they sometimes even tell you the serial number of the aircraft that was used to make the drawings, show crosscuts and detils, but, but - only magazine-sized. No fold-out drawings in postersize, just A4 sets. I also own Yefim Gordons Red Star 34 book about the Mig-25 family, but the same problem here: The drawings are just the size of one (A4) book page.

Dandiego Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Thanks dutik. Usually I try and find the best most detailed 3 view drawings on the internet and just import them into my CAD program. However at some point a really good hard copy source helps immensely.

Marcel111 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Shoot, missed the window, my vote would have been for the B-58. F-16XL would also be good, would have the major benefit of being able to source the canopy from leftover Tamiya or Academy since we always get two with those kits, assuming you would design it that way. To be honest, I‘d also just appreciate fixes to some kits that are imo not buildable without them (or significant scratchbuilding), eg AV-8B pylons and exhausts, A-7 windscreen and canopy (not sure if you can do clear parts easily).
