1/144 M23 Starfighter .......the old and very bad Academy a MiG-23 kit done without the instruction.

For a first time using the AK RC Markers.

I like that! It's an awesome little sci-fi fighter!

How did those paint markers work out?

Works fine and nice to use. I painted direct on the plastic without any primer coat.

I think I have most of the conversion to the space fighter figured out but what did you use for the nose?

Great kitbash! Where did the nose come from?
The AK pens are great - I bought the full box - it was cheaper that way.

The "nose" I used for kitbashing is a front part of some fuel tank from my spare parts box.......All other parts are OOB Academy parts.

This is so gorgeous, you can just picture it zipping through space against the backdrop of some enormous capital ship.
