Fazu Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 So the canopy that comes with the 1/48 is missing the central strut after some research it seems that the only mig-23 variant that has the canopy missing the central strut is the 23S which is an extremely early version, seems like trumpeter includes the correct canopy for all of their other 1/48 mig-23s but I couldn't find any of the other variants on sale without having to import from overseas. With only having the 23M as an option is there any (simple) way I could fix it so that it's the correct shape? Considered using 0.3mm styrene sheets or the left over material from photoetch. Did also try to see if I could find any aftermarkets that could fix the canopy but alas no results popped up.
Fazu Posted October 26, 2023 Author Posted October 26, 2023 here's an image of the two canopies M3 is the one that came with the mig-23M and M2 coming with the other mig-23 kits from trumpey, there is a line there but seems to just be a mold line
