Ivan Ivanovich Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Spoilers: Primarily used for roll control. Not used/deployed during normal landings. So you may want to depict them in closed position. Airbrakes: Also, usually not used/required during normal landings. Typical landing configuration: landing flaps at 50°, leading edge flaps at 20°. After landing and while taxiing back to the parking position (typical): Wing sweep set to 72° (flaps at 0°) when leaving the runway (without PTB-800 wing tanks) 16° wing sweep (flaps at 0°) with underwing tanks Para brake jettison on the taxiway within reach of the waiting ground crew member "Sleeve & Pocket": The notch between wing trailing edge and wing box was sealed by a spring-loaded sleeve that would retract or extend depending on the selected wing sweep. The sleeve itself retracted into a bolted-on pocket. At 16° the notch should be completely sealed off. Another feature worth considering, unless it's too late, and the wing glove parts have already been glued together: Ventral Fin - Assembly Guide, Step 15: Quite easily to fix with a wee bit of sheet styrene: Edited August 28, 2018 by Ivan Ivanovich Hemi, BradG, Marcel111 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Leduc Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Thanks Ivan, just the info I needed, The wing glove and the Ventral fin can easily be fix but would need your leading egde photo back pls..... and as for the wing anhedral drop, ummmm, that would be tricky, it's all glued with CA.... Maybe by using some de-bonder I could be able to split it without too much damage.... and the wing drop possibly by cutting the top beem...... not sure. Gonna put it asside for a few days to think about it. But that's a good timming cause I need to finish that baby for a next week IPMS contest in Montreal. See you soon and thanks for watching. Dan.

Daniel Leduc Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, Sorry for not being there till the end, but kind of lost my Mojo big time after my buddy André's departure.... So just got back on the horse and I'm intend to go true with it and gonna ask Kevin to moove it to WIP. A little something I did yesterday a the Club. If you remember earlyer I had a fit problem (shrink) with Aires exhaust, a nice fit with the kit part but not so so with Aires.... Decided to used a slice of the kit exhaust... Easyest way I came up to fill up the gaping with less hassle Even with a little extra 1/8, the end result is very much to my liking... And did some work on the spill doors (Quickboost), still planning to finnish this baby with a pilot.. but got to remember to do that part before I glue the intake on the fuselage on my next one. Thanks for watching and will put some more soon. Have fun, Dan.

Rudder not glued yet, just for the picture purpose... very different from what I'm used to built, but I like it. Found more goodies to help me move on futher... Thanks for watching and have fun. Dan.

Breaker Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Dan, have you seen Aires/Quickboost/Aerobonus have released loads of parts for the MiG-23 in the last few months? There's also a lot more Soviet weapons and bomb racks popped up as well from ResKit. Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
