Homebee Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) ClearProp Models is to release a family of (wrong scale 😎) 1/72nd Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23ML, MLA, MLD and P "Flogger" kits. First in line is a 1/72nd MiG-23MLD "Flogger-K" - ref. CP72021 Source: https://www.facebook.com/Clearpropmodels/posts/2801911910091290 Quote The new project from Clear Prop Models began with measurements of several real aircraft, which allowed us to develop reliable and accurate drawings formed the basis of our 3D model. Our new model CP72021 MiG-23 MLD will be produced as plastic kit in 1/72 scale. Also, the following modifications of lightweight MiG are planned: ML, MLA, MLD and P. Moreover, this summer, another new project of the famous aircraft, which is also designed on the basis of our own drawings, will be announced. Concerning the last statement I suspect a family of ground-attack MiG-23BN/MiG-27. V.P. Edited October 31, 2023 by Homebee 15 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Excellent news 😀 This should be good. I wonder what they mean by "another new project of the famous aircraft"? Do they mean a famous aircraft or this famous aircraft? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Now we're talkin' Clearprop! This manufacturer manages to keep me on the edge of the seat. Well done! The RV/ KP and Art kits never quite grabbed my attention, but having seen Clearprop's products thus far - this promises to be a stunner!

Vultures1 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Oh brave new world ...! Looking forward to these A LOT. So many great schemes for the lightweight Floggers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Impressive!...if they are anything like their Seasprite, we are in for a treat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.sin Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I hope this kit is very successful! Then maybe they will scale it up to 1/48th! 🙂👍🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Will it include AAMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, it is impossible not to mention a rather interesting solution with a nose part, but it will not be known how well it will work during assembly. Basically, of course, this model MiG-23MLD should be better than what other manufacturers did before it. B.R. Serge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Fantastic news. Clearprop makes excellent kits and the Mig-23 deserves a high quality model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrahs Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I had been rather hoping for this to happen. Some Angolan (never mind the Spanish accent) decals from the Namibian War, then if Special Hobby could get on to the right version of Mirage F1 for a SAAF fighter... As with the Su-25 I do wonder what the plans are for included ordnance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Judging from the quality of previous Clearprop kits, this promises to be a must-buy for all fan of postwar jets ! Guess it will not be pocket money, but still I will have to get me one of these when it's out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge That's hard to say as it's clear the wings haven't been finished yet as there is no other detail on them. Hopefully they will release the CAD model like for some of their other kits when it's finished for us to take a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it will be the MiG-27 Regards Robert That's what I was hoping when I first read it, as a 27 is much needed but with Clear Prop doing a wide range of subjects it's hard to say from that statement.
