[Guest]

Hello everyone,

Here is My latest built,

A mig 23 North korean air force, i used an old academy kit 1/72, the cockpit came from spare box , the pilot is pj production And the missiles belong to the dragon soviet weapons kit.

I mixer different testors for the color, steel, light grey, white, the radome is humbrol 27 and the washes from promodeller dark dirt, future to seal it,

Hope u enjoy it

Decals came from an old esci sheet and numbers from revell mig 21 f-13

Like the nice obvious yet subtle weathering on the jet- great build! The aircraft seems to have that messy dirty affect where it has accumalated dirt stuck in it

[Guest]

It has that "workhorse of the red air force" look about it. Just the right balance of care and neglect...

I like that a lot

Nice job fishpot, you know i love a russki! I really like the 23 , its just such a distinctive shape what with the u/c and the way it sits nose up, its unmistakeable. Great to see the north korean markings too , not seen very often on a 23, cheers tony

Excellent FP, I like this very much, nice and dirty, sort of thing you would expect from a soviet machine, why I don't know. Great weathering and 'grunging'.

I misread the markings... North Korea you say? Then I wonder how many would even be airworthy today...

[Guest]

There was a lot of about 40 , at today tho probably less then 10?

[Guest]

And that landing gear looks so over-engineered. Must be the maintenance man's worst nightmare! I can see a technologically stunted nation like the DPRK having a little trouble keeping their "airforce" in the air...

Nice work! We don't see many N. Korean models built... I'm not sure about the intake colour though - usually it's sort of a creamy colour

[Guest]

Gets my vote for two reasons.....

1. It's a nice build

2. It's korean

[Guest]

Thanks inflames,

I actually built the model on the only pic available on line wich is kinda blurry, it looks like light green and the Lindell hill 1/48 decals sheet report the same , it may be wrong state the very little infos about NK Air Force tho

Cheers
