This is the MIG-25RBT Red 46 47th GRAP 2nd Sqn. June 2001 (with 8 x FAB-500 bombs) in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The MiG‑25RBT “Red 46” of the 47th GRAP, 2nd Squadron, spotted in June 2001, epitomized Cold War-era high-altitude reconnaissance excellence with its rare dual-role design. Unlike pure intercept variants, the RBT combined Mach 2.8+ speed and a ceiling exceeding 70,000 ft with powerful ELINT and photographic sensors—retaining camera ports and electronic intelligence systems tailored for deep-penetration missions. Its distinctive loadout of eight FAB‑500 bombs during the May 2001 deployment illustrates an uncommon “reconnaissance-bomber” configuration, making Red 46 a unique blend of rapid ISR deployment and tactical strike capability that few competitors could match.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
