Col. Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Uh oh... anyone wants a started Kazan conversion set? And why does this always seem to happen just after I manage to get one? So tempted to say yes but I'd wait until we see just what the Trumpeter kit looks like before moving this one on Bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonehammer Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 So tempted to say yes but I'd wait until we see just what the Trumpeter kit looks like before moving this one on Bone. Well even if the Trumpeter turns out to be less accurate, it'll hardly require more work to go together... 'nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) First from the family, the MiG-23BN "Flogger-H" - ref.05801 - is announced for late August 2015. So should be available in the best hobbyshops in September-October. Source: http://www.trumpeter-china.com/index.php?g=home&m=article&a=show&id=50&l=en V.P.

exdraken Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) very welcome! hope they do not take too many "short cuts" these should be correct for Indian, Czechoslovakian and DDR/ GDR aircraft, no? Edited June 29, 2015 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonehammer Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 these should be correct for Indian, Czechoslovakian and DDR/ GDR aircraft, no? Not to mention Bulgarian, Egyptian, Ethiopian, and Iraqi. India also produced and operated the Flogger-J or a similar version under the name 'Bahadur', so if you want an all-grey duckbill... Myself, I always preferred green and brown: perhaps with a touch of sand... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself, I always preferred green and brown: Indians can be build in a multitude of color schemes! the Bahadur was a MiG-27, though, not? (simplified non movable intakes, fixed outer exhaust petals) and supposedly a different nose as well (depending on exact variant!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(simplified non movable intakes, fixed outer exhaust petals) and supposedly a different nose as well (depending on exact variant!) Yes, a late Mig-27 with the wing glove reaching forward nearly all the way to the intakes. Don't know what avionics it had, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurent Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) The nose profile looks weird too me. Too long and/or too deep, curved on top, too "heavy". And the BN has nozzle petals... right... Edited September 6, 2015 by Laurent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nubrawarriors Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 MiG23BN-a by Phil Camp, on Flickr that should answer your questions. Nose drawing appears to need flattening a bit. Cannot comment on kit Regards Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABeck Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The base line of the movable canopy is (almost) in parallel to the fuselage datum line while the base line of the fixed forward canopy/windscreen "kinks" down to the front. As far as I can see from the kit both base lines are in one level downwards. This will become a hard correction job - if possible at least.
