Sorry, I don't think I'll be able to make tomorrow night And even if I could, I fear it's too fragile to transport... Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bughunter Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Great build and paint job! Nice to see a 23 in a color other than green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakakoz Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Simply outstanding. The panel lines are clean and consistent - they really make the model pop. I love the weathering too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is significantly longer than the nose in the kit but I never measured anything against plans or photos. I would say it is a poor quality product: the surface detail is very shallow and indistinct and the whole nose is asymmetrical about the vertical axis. However, it does fit okay.

Gary Brantley Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Great MiG-23 Jon! Your finish is impeccable and the weathering looks very realistic. I don't know how I missed this one back in May as I'm always checking out the MiGs. Fantastic scale modeling here from a real craftsman! question-What are the red dots on the underside just aft of the main gear? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red dots are automatic pressure relief doors...I'm not sure what that actually means... Cheers Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
