The Mikoyan MIG-25 Foxbat was a Soviet Air Force high-speed interceptor fighter developed to counter the US XB-70 Valkyrie supersonic bomber .
Although the XB-70 project was changed to a prototype-only research program in 1961, the Soviets continued with their high-speed fighter program, culminating in the MIG-25.
The first flight is estimated to have been in early 1964, and the E-266,
which set numerous flight records in speed, altitude, and climb time from 1965 onwards, is said to be the same model as the MIG-25.
With excellent climbing ability and maneuverability at high altitudes, and
a maximum speed of Mach 3, it has attracted attention as an unparalleled fighter jet in the world.
The Hasegawa D4 1/72 Mikoyan-25 Foxbat is a highly detailed model kit that accurately replicates the iconic Soviet interceptor aircraft. With its precise molding and realistic decals, this kit is perfect for both experienced modelers and beginners. The kit includes easy-to-follow instructions and all the necessary parts for assembly.
