Salutations!
Does anyone know where I can get a 1/144 Mig31 Firefox kit?
Thanks,
Alex

Alex,

Do you mean the Mig-31 Foxhound?


I think this may be O.O.P. as its not listed on Revells site nor at Squadrons, and Hobbylink Japan has it out of stock. You may have luck on evil bay.

I think Luciano is right; the kit seems to be OOP. I believe the LHS has one or two left on the shelves, though. I'd be happy to check when I swing by there tomorrow.

Hopefully someone else will release a newer-tooled MiG-31 as the one mentioned is horribly inaccurate.

My apologies!
I was referring to the fictional jet from the movie Firefox.
Thanks,
Alex

I've only ever seen it in 1/72 and 1/48 scale and they were resin kits. I can't remember who did them. I think the last time I saw them was 3 or 4 years ago on Starshipmodeler but they have long since gone the way of the Dodo. You might check ebay.
