Arkady72 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Trumpeter kit with Aires cockpit, wheel bays, exhaust nozzle and Quickboost auxiliary air intakes. I used also Zactmodels R-60 missiles with double pylons. This plane is IMHO one of the most beatiful jet at all. MiG-23MF model and his big brother . Yes I know I am a bit crazy...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Absolutely sensational! I know it's a cliché, but it looks real!
Val Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I thought I was looking at a walk around, but that meant the car in the last pic would have been HUGE!! Absolutely stunning work, just perfect in every way, especially the weathering. Thank you for sharing that with us. Val
Paul J Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I can see why you like it. Thas a very stunning model. Bardzo Dobra!
Greg B Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 love it, one of the best builds I have seen on here.
andy wood Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 love it, one of the best builds I have seen on here. just about to say the same thing. Has the nose been subjected to the salt weathering technique?
JOHN W Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Sometimes you just have to post and this is one of them. A truely stunning model.Paint job and weathering are off the scale It just looks real, pure and simple. Cheers John. Edited July 17, 2012 by JOHN W
ForestFan Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Superb, and great photography too. I would like to get my hands on this kit, though will probably settle for the 48 scale version when it's out. Cheers FF
Navy Bird Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Well done, mate! Fantastic, as we've come to expect from you! Cheers, Bill
Rod bettencourt Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Well, that's just the nices Mig 23 I have ever seen. You built a winner! Thanks for sharing . Rod Edited July 17, 2012 by Rod bettencourt
Plasticbutcher Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Well Tickle my Turkey, that is a show stopper!
JackG Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Another dazzling build! I think though this is more a display of artistry than a mimic of reality. The cockpit though does look really good. regards, Jack
rmcclure Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I'll take issue with the Mig 23 being a beautiful plane but as far as beautiful model making goes - you win my friend! Fantastic stuff. Thanks so much for sharing that with us.
exdraken Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Absolutely nice!!! great job!! Zacto R-60 are one of the nicest things I ever saw! Slowly finished new mig-23 kits start to show!! looking forward to the 1/48 version as well!!!
Alan P Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I take my hat off to you, that's a beautiful model. I'm just going to have to get that kit now :-) I agree with Greg, one of the best models on the site. Well done. Al
Spikelhund Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) That really is beautifully finished, wish I had just the tiniest bit of your talent! Well done on a magnificent MiG-23. Cheers... Edited July 17, 2012 by Spikelhund
Arkady72 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 just about to say the same thing. Has the nose been subjected to the salt weathering technique? Yes, I used wet salt on lower and upper surfaces. JackG Another dazzling build!I think though this is more a display of artistry than a mimic of reality. The cockpit though does look really good. Jack, I have been there in Krakow Polish Aviation Museum about a week ago and I saw that 120 Flogger too. I must say I was embarrassed with the condition of the airplanes outside... This place should be called as aviation cemetery. Even new exhibits like Jag or Harrier very soon will looks bad as others. Only the planes hidden in the hangars look very good: exdraken Zacto R-60 are one of the nicest things I ever saw! looking forward to the 1/48 version as well!!! R-60 from Zactmodels are superb, agree! Thanks for all comments.
