COLD WAR STUDIO’s MiG-25RBT nose correction set (CWS48006) for ICM new 1/48 kit

COLD WAR STUDIO’s MiG-25RBT nose correction set for ICM 1/48 kit

Cold War Studio (C.W.S.) is a new company based in Sofia, Bulgaria, making sets mainly for cold war era Soviet aircraft. Among their latest releases is a very interesting correction set for ICM’s brand new MiG-25RBT 1/48 scale kit (code no.48901). RBT stands for Razvedchik (reconnaissance), Bombardirovhchik (bomber), and T denotes the RB variant equipped with the Tangaz ELINT system, which was an improved version of the RB.

The ICM kit is very nice in almost all aspects, but it suffers from shape issues at the nose cone. The company probably used an example at the Kiev museum as reference, but this is an earlier version and thus not correct for an RBT. There are some bulges at the upper and lower parts of the nose that are absent at the kit.

Cold War Studio comes to resolve this problem with a very nice correction set (CWS48006), cast in medium grey colored resin, which has the advantage to have been designed & built using the ICM kit parts, and so it will fit pervectly at the fuselage. The shape is really perfect compared to the real aircraft and will need just painting to be perfect. In this stage the company helps significantly the modeller with vinyl masks included in the set. The set also includes nice dials for the instrument panel, in thin clear acetate film, which fits behind the panel of the kit, that already has holes drilled at the place of each instrument.

The set, at 14 euros excellent retail price is defintelly recommended for anyone going to build the ICM kit, as it will save you time and effort to correct the nose, and is available directly from Cold War Studio's website:
