Sarcococca Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi Pavol, 3 models of the same type in the same amazing skill, that sounds like endurance and experienced craftsmanship! Chapeau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavolSK Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 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 ... 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).

VG 33 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Very nice again this one. I've got the 23-BN too but my wife prefers the blue/green Cuban scheme so SMBO... Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milt79 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Wow, a gorgeous trio. I can see you enjoyed weathering it too, really adds to the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavolSK Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks guys! Mark, I have stored "in progress" pictures of these floggers in my album: https://plus.google.com/photos/100560297990692903485/albums/5645691089356387745 In summary I spent 530 hours on this project. The one and half year with breaks... Pavol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
