Jack Here Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Beautiful. I love the blue in the radome. Subtle. Looking at at the pictures, is there anything you would have done differently? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mingwin Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 your model look stunning. but i don't know if it's a camera lenses thing, but on photo 2, 4, 6 it looks like the nose is somewhat too much upward (not just the cone, but the whole resin portion) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've no idea about the nose; I just installed it as indicated. If it's wrong, then it mean Metallic Details did not do a good job ;-) Cheers Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 when the model is on "full side view" it is barely noticeable... (like on photo number 3) and again, your model look stunning... and i plan to cover the very same subject than you with my Trumpeter MiG-23M...when i'll be there! i appreciate that you haven't put (yet) any missiles, it let the viewer appreciate the lines of the jet...and all the care you've put it that model!

Rodney Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I don't see too many kits of that plane built. Nice job. Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well done! Very neat looking model with subtle yet crisp panel lines and not too much weathering. I would have added more fluid streaks for the underside though but this is just me. Then again, if this is representing a fairly new airframe they wouldn't have accumulated so strongly yet. But yeah, I really like this model. One of my favourite types, so it's always great to see a well built model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Wow looks great and it even seems to have the right stance. Quite the list of aftermarket too. Not sure where to pick up the Ciro update sets though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bravosierra001 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Super nice! There is just so much going on with all of the details on the surface of this model. Well done. Brandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainObvious Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Another top notch build Jon. Even with all the corrections and aftermarket additions, the workmanship is super clean. The weathering is perfect and the model is beautifully photographed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
