Yeah, I'm finally done.  I think that's the quickest I've built a model in 20 yrs.

To hedge their bets against the failure of the MiG-29, MiG created the ultimate version of the MiG-23.  MiG switched to fixed wings, revised the intakes for better performance and integrated the latest air-to-air weaponry in a bid to keep the MiG-23 competitive.

Work on the MiG-23MLGD and the MiG-29 proceeded concurrently with the MiG-23MLGD sharing most of the MiG-29 weapons systems and avionics. Early in 1978 a fly off occurred between the two types. While the MiG-23MLGD was found to have very similar performance it was felt that it was at the end of the line in regards to upgrades while the MiG-29 had considerable growth potential.

Regardless 48 Mig-23MLGDs were produced before production switched over to the MiG-29. 

Anyway, here are the pics.

Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

This looks absolutely fantastic even if the pilot looks as if he needs a booster cushion  :thumbsup:
