This is my 1/72 MiG-31 Foxhound, which I've built using the kit from a Russian company called Zvezda.

For the main colour, I used a mixture of 80% Model Master 1728 Light Ghost Grey + 20% Model Master 1741 Dark Ghost Grey.  This combination, in my opinion, gives the most accurate match to my eyes for the present colour MiG-31. 

Surfaces of radioaerials and nose cone have been painted MM 1728 Gunship Gray. 

I felt it would be odd to use the decal number 31 on this model of a MiG-31 #31, so consequently I used the number 03 from a Su-24 Italeri/Dragon model and altered it to be the #30, because I have found a MiG-31 photo with such number in one of my air magazines.
