1/48 MiG-25 PD, Soviet Interceptor Fighter
ICM 1/48 MiG-25PD is a plastic kit of the Soviet high-altitude interceptor. A large model with 202 parts and Soviet, Iraqi and Libyan markings. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
At the end of the 1960s the Mikoyan design bureau developed the MiG-25 as a high-altitude interceptor for very high speeds. The upgraded MiG-25PD with improved avionics and missile armament was produced from 1978 and in the late 1970s and 1980s was the principal interceptor of Soviet air defence. It served with the Soviet, later Russian, Air Force and was exported to Iraq, Syria and Libya.
The kit contains 202 parts and the finished model measures 465 × 293 mm – a genuinely large build. Decals offer four options: a MiG-25PDS of the 146th Guards Fighter Regiment at Vasilkov (1989), a MiG-25PD of the Soviet Air Force (1986), an Iraqi aircraft from the late 1980s and a Libyan one from the 1990s.
The massive angular intakes, twin fins and long missiles make it a centrepiece for any Cold War jet collection. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: USSR, Iraq, Libya. Period: Cold War, Present day.
