Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-23BN

By Chavdar Georgiev

This is my latest finished project - the Mig-23 BN.

There is a lot of re-work and scratch-building to achieve similar look with the real thing. Helpfully, for reference I've access to the actual aircraft!

Of course, I used HpH’s BN conversion, and all the aftermarket that can be found. It is also necessary to make a completely new front landing gear, its covers, the two front wheels with rims, the nozzle, bomb pylons, as well as other small details - characteristic of BN.

For the white bomb pylons, under the half-wings, I scratched them. The pylons behind the front landing gear are from ResKit.

I've been using Tamiya paint, as always. Nothing new about the weathering - oil paints, filters, washes, acrylic paints and pencils.

Hope you will like it!
