hello
After a good series of cars I have a box out of my stock "Russian"

The MiG-23 was planned to replace the MiG-21, Jet third generation used in large numbers by the Soviet Union, and many customers export throughout the 70s and 80s they are still in use in some countries of export,

the Kit
The box is well filled, a small photoetched is provided. The set is beautifully engraved and detailed 345 rooms and 10 gray transparent parts
As usual with Trumpeter kits, supplied weapons are numerous and varied
The cockpit is well detailed apart from the known henceforth, seat of error. The speed brakes are provided for in open or closed positions .All is well detailed, trains seem rather complex to assemble.
One decoration is offered but aftermarket offers dozens of variants, which will be my case with a model to the Polish colors.

I begin by assembling and painting the cockpit ... just wait for drying to put in place the decals provided.

Your Flogger is really beautiful Bernd, i don't used weapons sprue
For now all s assembles easily ...
cockpit ended and inserted into fuselage

test

test with wings.

Fast progress, Olivier, looks good. Trumpys Flogger are sound kits with relative good fit and details, i found out, that on my build the position lights (clear parts) are not fitting too good.
No missiles or Eduard Brassin ?

Looking really good so far, my friend...even the box art is "picture perfect".

first paint on intrados :

That's looking great mate, love that camo!

Looks sweet Olivier, great camo.

finish paint, just apply x22 before to place decals...after I'll use panel line and wash...
