Gelerth Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Somehow I managed to get to the end of journey with quite good model ofTrumpeter's MiG-23. I've add resin set from Aires (cockpit, exhaust, whell bays etc), air scoops from Quickboost, Pitot and statis dischargers from Master and questionable wheels from Armory. Also I did some wiring to the engine and to the landing gear. Additionaly I used a countless number of magnets used as well on aircrafe frame and wings and on pylons/missiles/bombs etc. Reason for this that model, camo scheme and base were inspired by a photo of a real monument with MiG bort 96. Usually such aricrafts do not have any armament so I've decided to do payload as a plug and play. In this way you can attach any kind of bomb or missile you want in variuos combination as I did almost 30 different weapons. It was quite occupying task but effect if very interesting. Additionally the whole rear part of plane can be detached and set on the cart to show engine and it's mounting. Finally the part of the base with monument can be removed showing another version of base with the imitation of asphalt airfield How I did? You have to decide. It's a 27th model in my career but only 7th plane. Please watch and comment: tomv87, Dragon, airea and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Outstanding Flogger, Gelerth! This WIP was fun to watch and I want you to know that it was very inspiring for me, as well. So much so, that I have a 1/48 Trumpeter 23M on it's way and a pile of aftermarket parts to go along with it. This will be a test run for at least one more, but in 1/32 scale, to come later.Again, thank you so much for posting! John Gelerth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
