That looks really cool.

I have one on order (OK, mental for now as no one has it on pre-order yet but look at Pacific Coast Models)

This is what I like (testing the file attachment function):

I will wait to see what decals are in the kit (with fingers crossed) before ordering the Begemot sheet if this smile is not on it.

Complex looking build. Could be a good investment... :hmmm

I dont know why but it looks wrong to me. Every pic I have seen. The nose gear looks too close to the mains. Could it be the photography?

thats a massive plane. To me there seems to be some fit issues. nose section and the vertical stabs.

James, I know you're waiting for one in 1/32nd scale to recreate this scene:

As for accuracy...

This snippet is from the best plans I have from an affordable source (Авиация и Время (Aviatsiya i Vremya - Aviation & Time) magazine)

The image section of the fuselage serves the MiG-25PDS/PD/PU/RU/RBT variants.

No I wouldnt do that one Saul, but I would love a 1/32 kit. Drawings prove me wrong, just seems like such a short wheel base. Would be an interesting plane to build for sure.

Of course you wouldn't unless something went wrong with the build!

Dang! Don't see that the local mud bog!

It could be done in 1:48 couldn't it?

It could be done in 1:48 couldn't it?

It could be, or in 1/72nd scale, especially if one considers the M1070 used to pull it out from burial:
