Guys, thank you very much for your positive reactions! It's a nice reward for me! :)


Patrick, yes, it's possible that I will visit the MODELLBRNO and I take all my MiGs. ;)


Sarcococca, it's my mistake habit to build more of the same kits at once, on the other hand, it saves the time and reduce inventory ... :thumbsup:



The second shark is MiG-23ML Flogger-G #4645 with period of service from 1982 till 1998 in Czechoslovak/Czech Air Force. This flogger has the unusual shades of camouflage colors, which obtained after revision at the end of its career. Used armament: 2x R-60 (AA-8 Aphid), 1x R-23T + 1x R-23R (AA-7 Apex).

Hello Pavol,

This is seriously impressive!

I have build the ML version too, and I found it a really nice kit! I took me quite a while though to finnish it (not necessarily because of the kit :) ) I can't imagine how much work it was for you to build 3! And with conversions too!! Really good job!

Do you perhaps have a work in progress topic? I'm really curious how you build it... how long did this project take?

gr. Mark
