Mortihead Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I'm start another Mig -) This is limited edition - repack of Trumpeter 05801. Changes: 1) Very cool brochure. Photos, texts, artdraws... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMExnk_42MA in czech, but google translate can help. 2) 9 decal options (Cartograph printing) 3) PE, resin. All fine, but... This model is wrong. Trumpeter make this kit from MiG-23M/MLD changing only the nose, but this is not enough. All front part of fuselage has the wrong geometry. For fix this error Cold War Studio made resin kit: I decided to buy some corrections and additions: chassis, nose, weapons.

Alan P Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Good start! That's a lot of corrective extras, but it looks like it needs it. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Must have extras (for my opinion): 1) Nose! (MiG-23BN ≠ MiG-23) 2) Wheels (BN is "pre-Mig-27" has another jet engine and another wheels, not like earler MiG-23) 3) Engine air intakes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 That's quite a collection of extras to realise an accurate rendition of this machine. Unfortunate but necessary. You're off to a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortihead Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Fit original pe cockpit details into coldwar resin nose kit parts: Cockpit color: mix from Gunze paints Nose Correction Set has some problems: Fittings details: I want to make open canopy, but painting phase required to hide them. Canopy from eduard set (not used) - will help me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The kit canopy gives a good illustration as to how far off the shapes supplied are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortihead Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Lightly improved chassis niches Fitting new nose with fuselage: I want to use PB-250 bombs (https://www.super-hobby.ru/products/PB-250-bombs.html) Like on this photo: Airliners.net photo removed. Read the pinned post But this weapon required special holder: МБД3-У2Т-1 (MBD3-U2T-1) This is popular rack for Mig-23BN/27! Make it handmade from set details and plastic parts: After that I found this rack on sale 🙂 https://www.eduard.com/aircraft-and-helicopters/mbd-3-ut-1-multiple-rack-1-48.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
