Ale85 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 is possible to obtain a MF version? which are the exterior differences? ciao Ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charley420 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've just started painting mine today. My only pointers are watch the join along the top. Test fit the intakes and lastly the canopy seems to narrow unless there's supposed to be a ledge on either side. Ill post some pics if anyone's interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady72 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 is possible to obtain a MF version? which are the exterior differences? ciao Ale Main difference is additional frame on the center of canopy ( under periscope ) and IFF antennas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Oh another Mig 23, well you are not the only one with an obsession. (I'm building another 2x Bf109s at the moment. You would think I would have enough of them by now!) I see you still paint the cockpits after you have installed them, I'd like to see you try that on 1/72 scale models! Are you doing NMF finish again or were they painted? I have just bought the Mr Color metallic paints so will be interested to see how they go on, any special tricks to using them?
