ICM MiG-25PU Soviet Training Aircraft Kit HC-ICM72178

The ICM MiG-25PU - Soviet Training Aircraft, part number HC-ICM72178, is a 1:72 scale plastic model kit depicting the two-seat training version of the MiG-25 interceptor. Developed to train pilots to operate this unusual aircraft, the MiG-25PU was created after the Soviet air defence aviation service expressed interest in a twin-seat version.

The aircraft’s forward fuselage was redesigned up to spar number 1 to accommodate the instructor’s cockpit. Series production began in Gorky in 1970 and continued until 1985, with approximately 180 examples produced. This kit represents the aircraft in assembled model form and includes detailed assembly instructions to guide construction.

The kit contains 146 parts moulded on detailed plastic sprues. The available marking options cover aircraft operated by the Russian Air Force, including examples based at Ramenskoye and Monchegorsk, as well as aircraft from Belarus and the Libyan Air Force. The compact box contains the parts and instructions for building the model.
