ChippyWho Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Absolutely wonderful -Middle East operators had some attractive schemes for this aircraft, shown off very nicely here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mirage@enthusiast Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thank's for the kindly words guys... the midd eastern and north african operators realy have very colourful and cool paint schemes but to find enough reference about them is very rare...unfortunately.

Ryan Hothersall Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Excellent build and camo scheme. I always thought the MiG-23 carried one radar and ir guided AA-7 missile?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vimana Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I love Middle Eastern subjects and you've done a fine job on this MIG. It's too bad the Syrians are so uptight about people photographing their aircraft. Of course, there's no way to know, but I can't help but wonder what types of aircraft the rebuilt, post-Baathist Syrian air force might be looking to aquire. Let's hope the new regime won't be so paranoid about aviation enthusiasts and photographers - cross your fingers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mirage@enthusiast Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Excellent build and camo scheme. I always thought the MiG-23 carried one radar and ir guided AA-7 missile?. Hi! Yes you are right the most common weapon config was the one IR and one Radar homing R-23/24 missile but it was for the ML and MLA/MLD version... the MF was the first exported version which could carry the R-23 missiles... and the regular config for them was the two R-23Rs radar guided and two or four R-60s for close combat/dogfight IR missiles. I studied the Warsaw Pact Mig-23s and they used this for QRA duty so I have decided to choose this for my bird, too. Cheers, Polo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer 30 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Great Work. I love the MiG's and your subject is excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
