Mig-23 MLA 1/32 trumpeter (red-39)

Excellent work here. Interesting how a Mig-29 nose cone fits so nice. Great work casting too. I'd like to learn that at some point.

I'm actually very much interested to see this, I personally made the MF years back oob and it was one of the best kits I have ever made to this day, Which air force are you going to model this Mig for?

Profile nose too sharp, had to be replaced. I looked for an alternative and found that another Trumpeter kit. The point is that the nose has a wrong profile for aircraft came. The nose cone MiG 29!

Drawings scaled-up to 1:32nd from a russian book "MiG 32 ML P MLD" by S. Burdin, published in Minsk, 1994, Pages 21- 28. Also of great help were "MiG-23 fighter variants MF,ML", bilingual Czech/English, from 4+ publications and "MiG-23/27 Flogger. Soviet Swing-Wing Fighter/Strike Arcraft", by Yefim Gordon and Keith Dexter, published by Aerofax.

The shape and length of the nose are wrong, as confirmed by placing the parts over 1:32 line drawings (the red lines represent the outline of the kit parts)
