Okay, here's a few pics to get started. This kit is a magnificent hunk of j...ust fine vintage tooling. Well, it's not fair to say that. Fit is good, and assembly will be straightforward. It was probably tooled when not very much detail-wise was known about the bird.
The dimensions are really close compared to line drawings, with the major problem being the wing tips will need a little help, as the very ends are set a little too far to the rear. No biggie. The panel lines are raised, but there are very few of them, and they are in the wrong locations, so I'm going to sand it smooth, and do my very first ever overall rescribe on it.
I'll also have to scratch the spill doors on the top of the intakes. I can still recommend it though, as , well, there are NO other 1/48 Mig 25s out there, and I've seen them built up to look really good.
Here's an assembly mock-up.
It's no slouch for size, here's a pic with the same scale BF-109.
The main gear wheels are huge compared to an F-15E
