Designed to replace the Mig 28, after it was revealed in the documentary "Top Gun" that the west knew of it's inverted tank issues.  The redesign became more involved and the twin Kusnetsov engines were replaced by a single larger Turmansky turbojet, giving the newly designated Mig 30, true Mach 2 performance

Kit is the 1/48 Monogram F-20

Even in big scale i don't envy you that masking job.

Looks very nice and not in the least bit evil.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Sorry, I did not mean this model is bad, evil. I was meaning the Top Gun heroes are facing a side they call Evil, and this (very perfect) model belongs to this side... :unsure: ;D

The annoying bit is that it is 3 shades of grey, but 2 are so close, you can't tell the difference!!  A lot of work for little reward!

Had that happen a couple of times and it is a tad annoying  :banghead:

You've done a cracking job on her though  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
