Zvezda 7244 MiG-31B Foxhound 1/72 – plastic assembly model kit

The Zvezda 7244 MiG-31B Foxhound in 1/72 scale is an excellent choice for aviation modelers looking to expand their collections with a precisely reproduced Soviet interceptor fighter. This kit represents the MiG-31B version, a modernized variant of the famed Foxhound that entered service with the Soviet Air Force, and later Russia, during the Cold War and remains operational to this day.

The MiG-31 aircraft, a successor to the MiG-25, was designed to intercept high-altitude and fast-moving targets. The MiG-31B, as an upgrade of the base model, features modern avionics, an improved navigation system, and a new radar capable of detecting and tracking a greater number of targets. Foxhounds have been used many times to protect Russia’s far north, and their introduction greatly increased the effectiveness of air defense patrols stationed in Siberia.

Service period: Cold War, modern times (from 1983 to the present day). Used mainly by Russia and, to a limited extent, by Kazakhstan.

The Zvezda 7244 kit is made entirely out of high-quality plastic. The parts are precisely molded sprues with accurately replicated details from the fuselage and wing surfaces. Inside the box you will find clear decals dedicated to historical military units, transparent canopy glazing elements, and step-by-step assembly instructions. The model does not include resin extras or photo-etched parts – making it an excellent base for personal modifications or custom detailing.
