Another work of art my friend……….. I especially like how you eroded the top coat on the wings and upper fuselage to expose the zinc chromate type primer below.
Outstanding MiG-31, I have read that AMK has produced an amazing kit. Your build thread is well done. I wonder if there other kits are just as involved as this one and good. Going to look into picking one of these up, quite impressive. Thanks for sharing.
George, you build captures the brute force of the Mig-31. Some big honking engines bolted onto some steel and titanium built to shoot down B-1’s and B-52s. Two thumbs up. Looking forward to seeing more of your gifts and talents in modeling.
Merry Christmas to you, too Richard. I’m glad you enjoyed the build. I do like your ninja and I might build one, too. I see that you’re a cook. That’s pretty cool. I enjoy eating and my wife really enjoys cooking. She has over 2,000 cookbooks!
