1:72 Airfix MiG-23M Flogger B Soviet Union

[Ryan Hothersall]

The Airfix kit of the MiG-23 built as a an early Soviet MiG-23M Flogger B in the overall grey scheme,

These early aircraft quite often were armed with AA+2 Atoll as there were early problems with the new AA-7 Apex and Sa[fir radar.

Build wise it's a simple kit with no problems, but I ended up on the touching up the paint merry go round for a while.

 

Overall colour is Model Master 1730 grey.

 

Decals are some RV MiG-23 decals from the spares file.

Excellent build Ryan,I can't recall ever seeing one of these built,I know my attempt failed when the kit was new.

If I see AIRFIX and 1/72 on a Topic listing I'm in, it is always good to see an old Airfix built well and neat like your Mig 23 Ryan
