The latest work in progress, 31" long, 20" wingspan, BT-60 based. 6mm depron surfaces, 3.25oz as shown, 7.5 oz rtf with R/C gear and 24mm E-6 installed and balanced..
A simplified Mig 25 inspired model but with a single tail.
I designed a pretty simple construction for ease of cutting parts and assembly. Went with a single tail like a Vigilante but kept the Mig-25 wing and tail shapes, and kept the stab in line with the wing for simplicity. Simple side plates for intakes and the profile, and a 3mm bottom plate split to allow the rail buttons to be exposed and attached to the body tube and not attached to foam. I did not run the body tube full length, it's simply there to support the rail buttons and mount the nose cone. The motor tube glues directly to the foam wing. Individual tail surfaces for roll/pitch. I'll do some panel lines and hand cut some soviet style decals tomorrow then wait for radio gear to arrive and the snow to melt. Should really scoot, hopefully I didn't make it too light so it exceeds the speed of foam.

A simplified Mig 25 inspired model but with a single tail.
I designed a pretty simple construction for ease of cutting parts and assembly. Went with a single tail like a Vigilante but kept the Mig-25 wing and tail shapes, and kept the stab in line with the wing for simplicity. Simple side plates for intakes and the profile, and a 3mm bottom plate split to allow the rail buttons to be exposed and attached to the body tube and not attached to foam. I did not run the body tube full length, it's simply there to support the rail buttons and mount the nose cone. The motor tube glues directly to the foam wing. Individual tail surfaces for roll/pitch. I'll do some panel lines and hand cut some soviet style decals tomorrow then wait for radio gear to arrive and the snow to melt. Should really scoot, hopefully I didn't make it too light so it exceeds the speed of foam.
