See above for ordering info.

Photos of MiG-31 Phase II 1/32 kit. Airframe is primarily vacform styrene plastic; a new resin casting has been added to the kit, a one-piece wing-support assembly, which fits inside the lower engine box and lower wing-halves, has the main landing-gear/accessory bays, and missile-bays, molded directly into it. Resin parts include seated and standing pilot figures; complete cockpit assembly with ejector seat, rear bulkhead, detailed instrument panel with cowling, control/throttle sticks; nose-gear bay and complete landing gear assemblies with flattened tires; twin-cannon and missile weapons, and completely detailed tailpiece with inner/outer afterburner rings, booster jets, drones, and aft centerline cones. Vacform parts also include inner-detail parts for all the bays and doors, along with vacform canopy/door-hinges. Canopy is clear PETG vacform piece.

More photos of assembled build-up (shots are of developmental kit, but aside from minor variations in detail and outline, all dimensions are the same); also photos of actual masters including closeups of painted pilot figure and cockpit parts.

Thanks Anthony.

The struts are solid resin, drilled through for a piece of wire for added support. Assembled wings slip over the horizontal tabs; vacform lower engine box fits over the resin piece, tailpiece attaches at the rear, and the intake-splitters fit inside the alignment-grooves in front. The rest of the model attaches to the assembly.

More photos of kit buildup underside with everything extended (I put weights on it and then some, nothing buckled), also shots of canopy, upper fuselage parts, forward fuselage with cockpit, and pilot figures.
