The MiG-25P model at a 1:35 scale by Georgiy Makaryan is quite something to gaze upon. What immediately stands out is the smoothness and precision of the paint job. The light gray with the red stars really gives it that iconic Soviet look. The panel lines are neat, adding depth without overpowering the model. It’s like the real jet just did a flyby.

This beauty, the MiG-25, was known for being fast. Like, break-the-rules fast. From what I’ve read, these jets were designed to intercept supersonic bombers back in the day. It’s fascinating to think about this beast soaring through the skies with such purpose.

Looking closer, Georgiy’s attention to detail is apparent. The decals are crisp, almost too perfect, and the finish is impressively clean. There’s a subtle weathering around the engines, suggesting wear that adds a touch of realism. It feels like this model could taxi off the table.

Construction-wise, the Condor kit seems to have served as a solid base. The fit of the parts appears seamless, giving a polished look. While Georgiy didn’t go overboard with additional weathering, the light touch complements the aircraft’s sleekness.

I find myself pondering if the minimal weathering was deliberate to show a freshly maintained aircraft. Either way, it makes you think of how these machines were always ready for the unexpected.

What I love most about this model is its simplicity and the execution. It’s not trying too hard to impress, yet it naturally draws you in. The way the details come together tells a story of speed and precision. There’s just something captivating about that clean finish paired with the thought of its history.
