Trumpeter 1/72 MiG-31B/BM Foxhound: Model Overview

The Trumpeter 1/72 MiG-31B/BM Foxhound kit offers a tidy representation of the Soviet interceptor for modellers focused on military jets. Designed around the MiG-31's role as a long range, high speed interceptor, the kit reflects the aircrafts practical lines and operational purpose.

Surface Work and Cockpit Fit

This release features defined surface detail and cockpit components that are notable for the scale. Builders will find the fit generally good, though careful sanding and alignment will improve joints and panel transitions for a cleaner finish.

Suitability for Displays

The finished model works well on display bases or inside cabinets, fitting alongside other 1/72 Cold War aircraft without dominating the space. Its scale makes it versatile for both shelf displays and small diorama scenes.

Specifications

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time varies by skill level, but expect several evenings for careful construction, painting and decalling if you aim for a neat finish.

What paints work best for this kit?

Enamel or acrylic hobby paints are suitable; use reference photos to match service colours and thin coats to preserve fine panel detail.

Can I fit aftermarket parts to this kit?

Aftermarket upgrades like resin cockpits or wheels may fit, but check part compatibility and be prepared for slight modifications to achieve a perfect fit.

Is the kit accurate enough for historical displays?

The kit captures the major features and silhouette of the MiG-31 well at 1/72, making it suitable for historical collections when combined with careful paintwork and marking references.
