fu_manchu Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi Well, it's been a while! From finishing 15 builds last year I am limping along at 5 this year, too much work and too little time This is my latest aircraft, Trumpeter's Mig-23. Overall not too bad a kit, I managed to get the original (e.g. for the Escii kit) NeoMega pit in without too much trouble. I found the decals a bit of a pain, the larger ones rolled on themselves and were tricky to get back into shape. Hope you like it and thanks for looking Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 That does look good. What paint did you use as it looks darker than I'm used to thinking the MiG-23 would be. Got one of these in the stash and yet to hear of any fatal flaws in its shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Seeing this build has now resulted in me contemplating ordering the 1/32 Flogger. Oh my bank balance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 ...Oh my bank balance... Who says you can't buy happiness? Great job on the Flogger, It does look dark but with all the field depots doing repaints I bet there was some deviation from the norm in Mother Russia. I like the dark grey and I hope to emulate it!

planeart Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Your artwork was part of the reasons why I bought this kit. Wonderful work Do you have a website where we can view more? Dear Col, thank you very much for the nice comments about my work! I am glad that my art played a reason for you to have this kit! This was for me always the reason in order to buy a kit long time ago when iwas a very active modeller! And for sure the magic works by Roy Cross, Roy Huxley, Koike Shigeo, Masao Satake etc etc, gave me the inspiration to try my effort in aviation-box art world!! I have been working for Trumpeter Models for 3 and half years! I have a web site and is my pleasure to post it!!! Best wishes, and thanks again!!! http://kostaskavvathias.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
