There is a real Mig-31, the Foxhound, cold war era supersonic interceptor based on the Mig 25 Foxbat, could do that.

OOOOHHH one of my favorite subjects
Depending on how things go I might try a subject from both sides, but will probably start with an old Hawk U-2.

This should be a good subject for the GB, also my specialty subject in real life so to speak.
Once all my other bench projects are finished
I plan to do 1/72 aircraft that served on HMS Ark Royal (the one before the previous one which was a true aircraft carrier) i.e Phantom, Buccaneer etc so this GB should be perfect for that.

Now the ball is in my court..mwuhahahaha. The Cold War time period is my jam.
On a serious note though, does the build have to be actually in use? I was thinking of doing an M60a2, never put into use, but it was one of those wonder weapons that would be better than anything the Ruskies could offer.

I built a F-86 back in the 70's so it will be a bit of a blast from the past.

Nice choice
I am currently working on a FJ-2 Fury which is known as "The Saltwater Sabre".

Hey guys, If i've done my basic research correct,
would i be right in thinking that the Centurion tank would be acceptable.
If so, which version would be the best kit guys?

For that specific vehicle, my good fellow, I recommend asking the forums Centurion expert Russ2471. I believe he served on one of them and has vast knowledge which far surpasses my own.
Plus he's nice and not too hard on the eyes.

Russ served in both a chieftain and a challenger, so yeah... he's our resident Brit Mod Arm expert haha.
As for hard on the eyes... It's the chiselled jaw and furrowed brow gets them every time.

Smudge you can't go wrong with the afv club centurion, cracking detail and a choice of variants in the box, it was used in Korea and Vietnam and so makes an excellent subject for the group build
I've nearly finished my mk 5 with dozer attachment a nice clean build

I've got two potential candidates in the stash. A Tamiya M42 Duster in West German colours, or the Tamiya Chieftain that I might do in that weirdo blue block camouflage pictured earlier - if I'm feeling adventurous.

I was kidding about the Canadian sabre jet being boring Dragon, it's just boring when compared to say...
Clint Eastwood's FireFox
I chose the Gh Sabre because of the anniversary.
