Kitty Hawk 80136 MiG-25PU Foxbat-C (1/48) – plastic model kit of the two-seat Cold War training interceptor

Kitty Hawk 80136 MiG-25PU Foxbat-C is a highly detailed 1/48 scale plastic model representing the Soviet interceptor fighter in its training version. The MiG-25PU, designated by NATO as Foxbat-C, played a key role in training pilots to operate one of the fastest combat aircraft in the world, developed during the Cold War by the USSR. The PU variant featured a dual cockpit enabling advanced flight training, and this model allows you to faithfully recreate this unique version of the aircraft.

• Scale: 1/48
• Service period: Cold War (1970s to 1990s)
• Countries of use: USSR, Warsaw Pact air forces, as well as India and Algeria
• Material: high-quality plastic
• Detailed replication – the model offers a precise two-seat cockpit, realistically rendered control surfaces, landing gear details, and onboard electronics

Historical information: The MiG-25PU was mainly used for training future MiG-25P pilots, one of the fastest interceptor aircraft, which could reach speeds of over Mach 3. This aircraft served in the air forces of the Soviet Union and several allied states. The main tasks of the PU version were to prepare officers to operate onboard systems and to master the challenging art of piloting this extremely fast machine. The MiG-25 was used, among others, for patrolling large areas of the USSR and was also exported to countries such as Algeria and India.

The kit does not include stands or paints but offers highly accurate plastic parts and an extensive assembly manual. Every detail of the fuselage, cockpit, and landing gear has been precisely crafted to satisfy even the most demanding modelers. The model does not include photo-etched parts or a metal barrel, but the quality of the sprues allows for a professional finish.
