Brief historical note:
The MiG-25, known by the NATO codename "Foxbat", was one of the key Soviet interceptor aircraft equipped with special under-fuselage tanks increasing operational range for intercepting American bombers and conducting strategic reconnaissance. The ventral tank with a 5280-litre capacity was used especially during long-range missions, for example over the Middle East or Siberia.

The RESKIT RSU48-0358 set is a perfect complement for intermediate and advanced modelers who appreciate the highest quality and authenticity. We especially recommend it to enthusiasts of Soviet aviation from the Cold War era and detailers building dioramas and collections of interceptor fighters.

Assembly difficulty level: 2/5 – recommended for modelers with basic experience working with resin and 3D printed accessories.
