MIG-25RBT 754, Bulgarian Air Force (1:72 Scale)

Model History and Information: Bulgaria was one of the smaller Warsaw Pact operators of the MiG-25, fielding a small number of Foxbat reconnaissance-bombers for high-altitude photographic and electronic-intelligence work. The RBT sub-variant carried the Tangazh ELINT system alongside its cameras, exploiting the type's stainless-steel airframe, twin afterburning turbojets, and ability to operate near Mach 2.8 at altitudes above 20,000 metres, largely beyond the reach of contemporary interceptors. With the end of the Cold War and deep reductions across the Bulgarian Air Force, its MiG-25s were grounded in 1991 and withdrawn from use. The dedicated strategic-reconnaissance capability the Foxbat provided was not directly replaced afterward.
