Wee Beastie Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Well everyone, here it is, in all its glory, my completed MiG23BN. Armed to the teeth......a typical Cold War Warrior....old tech, functional and in yer face!!This build has been a pleasure to do. The overall fit has been very good. The kits biggest issue, the incorrect nose shape, has been dealt with by the addition of the Cold War Studio's correction set. This set is highly recommended if you're going to build this version of the MiG-23. Decals are the kit ones, but they were very brittle. As some of you may remember, I had some break up completely. With a slight change of plan, I changed scheme, and managed to complete the decals, using extreme care! Other aftermarket items used are a Quickboost seat, Aerobonus rocket pods, Eduard Brassin OFAB bombs, Eduard PE cockpit set, Plusmodels ladder and an Aerobonus pilot figure. The display base is from Noy's Minatures. Painting the camouflage was done with Vallejo Model Air, and on the underside I used Akan. Varnishes used are, Alclad's Aqua Gloss, and finished off with Winsor & Newton acrylic matt. Weathered with a mixture of Flory & UMP washes, and Tamiya Weathering Master.Untitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on FlickrUntitled by ian gaskell, on Flickr 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Drover Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Looks awesome Ian. The nose is a worthy addition. Nice base and figure too, it's always nice to see context. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Oh that's bleedy gorgeous! I love it. I'm especially struck by the strange ironmongery that the Roosians were prepared to drop on us. Is that an old boiler under the wing? Excellent nose job, I certainly can't see the join! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
