Guard Hog Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Armin, Great work on that MiG-23. Very clean build with lots of effort put into making an old model look top-notch. The weathering is spot-on, too. Awesome job! - Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piotrek.S. Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Wery nice job really Only one error - R-23 missiles are ALWAYS armed in pairs (R type or T type), never mixed as shown in this model. It`s works for all other russian planes. In spite of that really beauty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony9409 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thanks for sharing your work on the Mig-23. How about a few more pictures close up covering your work on the tail area and cockpit. regards, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Wery nice job really <_< Only one error - R-23 missiles are ALWAYS armed in pairs (R type or T type), never mixed as shown in this model. It`s works for all other russian planes. In spite of that really beauty Realizing you've probably seen far more MiG-23's than I have, but I was under the impression that they were normally mixed, even on planes such as Su-15 where they would fire the IR seeking version first, then the radar-guided second (so that the IR wouldn't home on the radar missile instead)?

Piotrek.S. Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Su-15 have 4 pylons for same type missiles (possible combination 2 IR plus 2 radar guided). MiG 23 got only two pylons. I know that different missiles under wings looks nice. I was thinking rather it doesn`t look realistic. This could happened to anyone (many Polish modelers make similar mistake with MiG-29 UB - with R-27 missiles - this is ofcourse totally wrong becouse of lack of radar onbord MiG-29 UB).

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well...here's a thought...maybe nobody will see both sides of the plane at the same time...unless it's been dropped really badly.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Only one error - R-23 missiles are ALWAYS armed in pairs (R type or T type), never mixed as shown in this model. I think I have seen pics of mixed loads..? Oh well, another fun Flogger fact to research! Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
