Luckely I have got already a Mig 23 and a 27 in my stash. In what scheme? I don't know jet. But it could be a Indian 27.

Complimented by this MiG-27. I'm in. a couple of good choices there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircraft have a nice range of variants available. The RV ones do look particularly nice. Avoid the RV kits like plague! I built their MiG-23MLD and it was an absolute dog of a kit, with nothing fitting together. The wings are not the same thickness. The vertical tail just floats around in its slot The top/bottom halves of the rear fuselage do not match, and the shape at the back (right under the tail) needs quite a bit of sanding to match the shape of the tail The left/right halves of the front fuselage need some spacer otherwise the canopy won't fit - neither the nose cone. There is no positive way of positioning the front and rear halves If you align the intakes with the outer fuselage surface, you have huge gaps to fill between them and the cockpit sides. And that's just the most obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 that's ok I only just pretended to add you to the list originally! So I can now take it you've moved some stuff around in the stash bunker and found some suitable beasties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 really interesting piece Serge, thanks for that!! I would love to see someone producing some of the early model aircraft.....or even conversion kits. It's interesting to see the early ideas to went on to be successful along with those that didn't quite make it.....and the truely bizarre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I have sufficient Floggers models to participate here... maybe a 2 seater using Neomega resin conversion would do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
