Third member of the ten buck crew is this beast. Basically a MiG-23 with the exception of the nose and engine intakes, both modified for lower, slower combat. This qualifies as a toy as the wings are engineered to move, so I guess everyone [...]

by Bryan W. Bernart on April 17, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The second of the ten dollar specials, this was originally intended to be the basis of a serious NMF effort-until I found it was smooth as a baby's behind as well. I really was hoping for engraved panel lines-this is a smooth tube, which, [...]
