HOLMES Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Got started on the Iraqi MiG-23MS today. MiG-23MS photos Ryan, Nothing showing. There is a small picture of a padlock when you click on the link so it is closed to public. I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Hothersall Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Holmes, just tried on my second pc that has not logged into facebook, and it still works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Did a little more to it today. Intakes and did some filling, which I will leave for a while to allow the filler to harden thoroughly before I start sanding any joints. Only a couple of photos from todays effort.

Ryan Hothersall Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 The MiG-23 is coming along nicely, tail attached, undercarriage etc done today, even got some paint put on it. Refer to the link in my first post for the pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 nice work so far. Are the resin pylon really supposed to be facing outwards instead of being parallel with the fuselage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 No they aren't supposed to be on an angle like that. Thanks for pointing that out. Two of the missile launch rails were leftovers from a previous RV MiG-23UB I built where the parts were a different colour. Only resin on this one is the radome.

Sebastijan Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 ah, it got me fooled as the colour is very similar to the one from the resin radome :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Did a bit more today. Started on the camouflage scheme. Started to paint the missiles, but finding white paint to be a real nightmare, as it doesn't seem to cover. Thankfully it's only small what I'm trying to paint white. And if I try and fix the wonky pylons, I will probably break something and make it worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I always use airbrush or spraycan for white. It has to be one of the toughest colours to apply by brush, besides the yellow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Did some work on the camo. Needs a bit of tidying up, as the brown and green part is brush painted and the brown looks ok with two coats but he green needed two or three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Bit more today. Major painting done. Camo scheme finished. Next are the smaller details like painting the radome etc, putting the wheels and missiles on etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Undercarriage, armament and clear coat ready for decals done today. Getting close now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
