Arkady72 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hello Arkady Just 1 question. From the numerous pictures and books Icollected on the MiG-23 , cockpits always appear in that typical russian shade of blue-green. You painted yours in black-grey . Is it an "artitistic licence " or did the Pole repainted their MiG-23 cockpits in this shade ?. As I am planning to do this MiG-23 in a light grey scheme , I would be pleased to have some informations about this matter . Thanks a lot and all my congratulations go to you. Madcop .Cockpit color should be russian blue-green. I used mixed grey with some green paint, but the result is not convincing as you see... I think the best paint for that is oil ModelMaster russian interior color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GForceSS Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You really know how to make a long time modeller feel like a novice. Your weathering and corrosion control touch up painting is beyond perfect. You aligned everything correctly and above that your a hell of a photographer too. Beautiful Mig sir!

Actually , black-grey adds a touch of " this guy should have pictures I don't ! ". A masterpiece anyway .... Madcop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I've just done something I haven't done for a while - bought a kit on the basis of someone else's build. I'll just send you the bill, is that OK Artur? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 As everyone has already said, great model of an iconic aircraft Artur, very well executed.
