Default help with mig 25 foxbat kit

I have a mig 25 foxbat kit that I cannot identify. It appears to be designed to accomodate two 5 inch fans. All of the kit appears to be present but no instructions. It is old but oddly enough it has laser cut formers. I estimate the kit exceeds 10yrs of age. Can anyone help in identifying the kit? The box has a byron catalogue, all 60 pages worth, lots of hardware and two strange heavy blowmolded hollow paralellagram shaped pieces. Way too heavy to go on a flying model. The glass work looks as good as some of the byron kits I have built but I don't recall ever seeing a Byron Mig 25. I may be interested in a trade or sell as I do not care for twin engine setups on anything.

It's a Knights of the Air Kit. I worked for them for about a year, back in the early eighties. I never saw any of the kits fly. The company was bought from a guy in California and was previuosly called World Jets. I might have done the glass work as that is my specialty. Good luck, with it as I said I never saw any of them fly. The two heavy blow moulded items are supposed to be the fuel tanks that went into the wings. I have heard of afew of the U-2's and the F-20 that have flown but never the Mig.

Default mig 25

Thanks for the info. Did the company simply fold after a short time? Do you recall any specs about the model? I think it may be possible to convert it to a single large fan, say a byro jet with a 91. I am not about to get two DF units whirring in the same model. Too much trouble. Out of curiosity, what was the mode of operation at the company. At Byron it was Engineer a prototype around the byron component group, test fly, correct for unsatisfactory performance, reengineer, second prototype, test fly, re-evaluate and so on until the project succeeded.
