First build: Aoshima 1/144 MiG-25 Foxbat

Here's my first build, a Aoshima 1/144 MiG-25 Foxbat which i picked up cheap knowing that this would be the first build i wanted something that i didn't spend aload of cash on then ruin with my limited skills.



Learnt loads from putting this together:



Watch out with your fingers, don't touch the paint or glue cause then you get a massive finger print right damn center of the wing.



Never put masking tape onto a decal, rips them straight off. Then you don't realize until you start working on it again next weekend and that masking is in the landfill.



Leave gluing on the landing gear and any little bit which can easily be knocked off until the end, so frustrating how mant times i broke them off then glued them on again.



Sand and putty those seam, look awful once paint then you got to start again.



Make sure no bubble under the decal, stand out a mile and can not stop looking at them.

Overall a good kit, could have done with alot more detail to bring it alive and quite good paint work for the first completed model. Still got so much to learn to make it look realistic.

I'll give the kit a 3/5, good for a cheap kit and an excellant starter for this beginner.
