I've only just noticed that the gallery has been set up, so I'd best publish! After looking at the models already posted, mine doesn't belong here, but she's done, so . . . Revell 1/144 MiG-29 "The Swifts" My entry for this GB is here: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A simple little kit, which appears to be quite rare? I know I rarely see them for sale . . . A fun build, and a great GB. Edited by Johni044, Aug 1 2017, 09:21 AM.

The Soviet Union in the late 50’s and early 60’s was faced with the possibility of it’s airspace being susceptible to the supersonic bombers being developed in America, namely the B-58 Hustler and B-70 Valkyrie escorted by supersonic F-108 Rapier fighters. To counter this threat the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau designed and developed the Mig 25, which was given the reporting name Foxbat by NATO. Whilst the F108 and B70 were cancelled due to the improved accuracy of air to ground missiles, the Mig 25 continued to be developed and it first flew in 1964, it subsequently establish a number of records and NATO analysts accredited the design with numerous abilities which got the alarm bells ringing in the west. The ultimate result of this concern was the F-15 Eagle. However, a young Russian pilot who was already beginning to question to himself the propaganda he received from the establishment. Had this further questioned when he received a briefing on the capabilities of the latest fighter to enter service with the supposedly inferior west (the F-14 Tomcat) and it was plainly superior to the latest plane he was flying. That pilot was Lieutenant Viktor Belenko of the 513th Fighter Regiment, 11th Air Army, Soviet Air Defence Forces based in Chuguyevka Primorsky Krai. He formulated a plan to defect to the west and awaited until the conditions to do so were favourable. That happened on the 6th September 1976 and he flew his Foxbat to the civilian airport of Khofodate in Japan, the plane overran the runway and slightly damaged it’s landing gear but was otherwise intact. Although initially reluctant to allow them to do so, the Japanese authorities allowed the US to inspect the airframe, which they did in great detail, so much so it was actually returned to Russia in thirty crates. The super plane’s secrets were revealed to be not as special as expected. The structure was mainly steel with Titanium only being used where absolutely necessary. The Radar used vacuum tube technology which I remember being held up for ridicule in the press at the time, neglecting to mention that this equipment was better suited to extreme temperature changes and more resistant to Electro Magnetic Pulse. So here is my attempt at making Lieutenant Belenko’s Mig 25 Foxbat made from the Revell 1:48 kit (5860) and Begemot aftermarket decal set 48-010. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Viktor Belenko insisted he did not so much steal the plane but amended the flight plan whilst in the air without authorisation.
