Madmax Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 For those who don't peruse the Works in Progress side of things, here is a link to the story of this build: Oh wow, this forum inserts stuff for you... hope the link works as I'm not all that savvy on these things! Suffice it to say the MiG-23 is an "ubercool" fighter, and here is my take on one in service in Angola around 1994 - flown by South Africans, who had fought against them whilst being flown by Cubans just six years earlier.
