1994 PVO MiG-23P and MiG-23UB winter flight operations.

Would be lovely to see a 1/32 MiG-23UM. All those swing-wings and snow reminded me a little of the much larger F-111Es at Upper Heyford, which thankfully never had to confront the PVO.

 

My favourite after the Draken... definitely fancy this in 1/32 in IM kt form:

I have the Tigger vacform but with absolutely zilch available off-the-shelf I abandoned it as too expensive - needs custom resin and etch to make it viable. One of those kits where you spend 200 hours on it or resign yourself to a shape on a stick.

Tony...

I'm afraid the both of us won't live long enough to see all three of them in IM kit form...

 

Being a dyed-in-the-wool 2nd generation MiG-23 (ML/P/MLA/MLD) afficionado, I could easily live without a UB. Definitely NOT my cup of tea...two seaters in general. As to the Su-15 and J35, I totally agree. Sadly missed subjects in 1/32nd scale.

 

 

Just for fun: pristine 833rd IAP MiG-23MLD, Jueterbog Altes Lager, East Germany

Note the ventral R-73/AA-11 APU-73-1D launch rails... :coolio:
