Product Description The mig-31 'foxhound' was developed as the replacement of the MiG-25 'Foxbat', the prototype ye-155mp took the first flight on 16 September 1975. As the heaviest fighter/interceptor in the world, the mig-31 is much heaver than other similar aircrafts. At the same time, two powerful d-30-f6 engines and a stronger Airframe gave it a top speed to Mach 2.8 at high-altitude and Mach 1.23 at low-altitude. The mig-31b were put out under the threat of the Western countries in the 1980's, they can be regarded as the mixture of the mig-31bs which developed from the basic mig-31 sans suffixes and the mig-31dz, the ifr system testbed, however, a series of new avionics and wcs made it much more efficient than any other version. The latest upgrade version of the foxhound is the mig-31bm, the new multi-role version which developed from the mig-31b and the mig-31bs. The programme started from 1997. The new version mig-31bm is no longer a interceptor only, they can carry a variety of air-to-surface weapons such as kh-25, kh-29, kh-31, kh-59 etc. Safety Warning Contains small parts Box Contains 1 plastic model kit
