stenkabg Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hello friends! This is my latest work. It’s the Trumpeter’s MiG-23 MF in 1/48 scale. I have added Eduard PE exterior and interior, Brassin wheels, wheel wells and exhaust nozzles. I also did some scratch building. The model is painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics and weathered with oils. She is in the colors of the Peoples Republic of Bulgaria from mid 80-s. This build took me 34 days to complete.

Floggerman Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Great build, congratiolations! (But R-23R and T together on a MF...?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Awesome! Beautiful camo and equally beautifully detailed. I remembered your previous works and knew instantly when I saw this thread that this will be good. And when I saw the pics, it really was! I just love Floggers!

stenkabg Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks you, guys! Floggerman, to be honest, I don't know whether the MF could carry both the R-23T and R-23R missiles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayfarer 30 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 But R-23R and T together on a MF...? That's what she said. JK. I love your MiG. Your gear bay detail looks very nice. Is this your scratch work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stenkabg Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) First of all, thank you again for your compliments. I checked about the missiles with a Bulgarian serviceman and he claims that MiG-23 MF can use only the R-23R or T on one mission. That's what she said. JK. I love your MiG. Your gear bay detail looks very nice. Is this your scratch work? The scratch detail is the pluming and wiring of the gears and the nose wheel well. Also the R-23 missiles have scratch details on them. The nose profile is changed a bit, landing lights added and the pitot tube is made from needles.

I checked about the missiles with a Bulgarian serviceman and he claims that MiG-23 MF can use only the R-23R or T on one mission. :bandhead2:/> I also talked with a former Chief Engineer(RoAF)on MiG-23MF and he told me that our MiG's could use in the same mission R-23R & R-23T but not frequently! Most likely is a matter of procedure. P.S Great work mate!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 As always, another great model from you Stenka !!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 beautiful model Stanislav! and all those nicely added aftermarket goodies, make it looks like a crown full of jewels! the only critique i would made is about the (outward) canted MLG wheels, that would looks better if they where straight. ...but i surely wouldn't have done better in 34 days...

Exhausted Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I also talked with a former Chief Engineer(RoAF)on MiG-23MF and he told me that our MiG's could use in the same mission R-23R & R-23T but not frequently! Most likely is a matter of procedure. P.S Great work mate!!! What I remember was both could be carried, but only one type used during a flight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floggerman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I also talked with a former Chief Engineer(RoAF)on MiG-23MF and he told me that our MiG's could use in the same mission R-23R & R-23T but not frequently! Most likely is a matter of procedure. It's a matter of hardware. There are control modules for each type, the MF had only one type at the same time, exchange possible on ground only. The ML had both modules on board, so no exchange necessary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jfmajor60 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Very Nice job, I've been eager to pick up one of the Trumpy Mig-23's what did you think of the kit? any major construction problems? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floggerman Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The kits are not bad. There are some issues, some of them can be corrected (intakes, splitter plates, front gear on early variants.....) and some not or at least not easy (wrong upper contour in front area) I'd advise the later variants ( ML, MLD) as they have less issues.
