jenshb Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Are the corrected items to the left? Based on these photos http://www.airliners.net/photo/Romania---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-23MF/2207258/L/&sid=1cbfd1c9d056c0866e3daa260332c05f http://www.airliners.net/photo/Czech-Republic--/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-23UM/2180797/L/&sid=1cbfd1c9d056c0866e3daa260332c05f I'd say "close but no cigar". The top and bottom lips should be perpendicular to the vertical side, which seems to be the case with the intakes on the left and is a mistake with Trumpeter's intakes (to the right). However, the radius in the corners should be the same top and bottom, and the resin parts do not seem to address this: The radius on the bottom is larger than the top. They do look like an improvement, but not entirely correct. The "lining" of the intake makes them look less hollow, and is a benefit, but personally I would have liked to see the radius corrected before spending my money.
