Solo Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) I have just finished this miniature of MiG-23MF of Polish Air Forces. Trumpeter kit is pretty decent one, but there is a lot of small issues, especially the fitting ones. Also there is a need to rescribe many of panel lines and rivets. So... a lot of work. I made it within over 4 months. Used resin nose from Metallic Details, air intakes, main wheels bay, wheels, missiles, ejection seat and exhaust nozzle from Eduard, pitot and dischargers from Master, decals from Model Maker and stencils from Eduard. Hope you will enjoy it. Edited December 10, 2023 by Solo 59 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 You've done some serious work on the undercarriage, it looks amazing with all that detail and careful painting. The model is just outstanding. Pete 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I know very little about MiG-23s, but your model looks completely convincing to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 My friend built this kit and said that it can be tricky and a bit challenging. The accuracy of this one is a glowing testament to your skills as a an artist. I like it!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulsbrown Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Fantastic result, I've been down that road with all the aftermarkets, not easy. Fine paintwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 wow, fantastic Flogger! I remember some images in AFM and some videos back in the day of such MFs landing on Polish highways... what a sight it must have been! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Thank you guys. It is nice to read it is not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Outstanding work on even the tiniest details, and the paintjob is a work of art. The decals could use another layer of filth to tie them into the weathering IMO. It must have taken a lot of stamina to finish this kit on this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
