MiG-23 and MiG-27 Flogger

Looks that way  Impressive  They really changed things up on it

Looks like a twin engine indeed, Shas, and she's got a Real Long Nose.

Random thought - Full Delta Flogger?

[dy031101]

Looks like the rear fuselage is bigger . . . Twin engine perhaps?

Looks that way

I think so, too.

I haven't had the chance to buy (let alone play) the game, but the idea to think of the bigger Flogger with a tail gun like the one on the Tu-22M is tempting.

Looks almost like a Mig competitor to the Su-24 and F-111. Cool.

      Mirage III intakes are too small, but Mirage IV intakes work. That's what I did on mine many years ago, along with Mirage III wings.

Hmm, assuming you are doing 1/72.  How about a MiG 23 fuselage, maybe grab a Yak 38 for the upper intake?  The side intakes, would a 1/72 Mirage 3 work or would they be too small.  The Mirage wings would then give you templates to make the wings from.

My rough take on a MiG-23 Delta (I couldn't resist slightly down turned wingtips ):

Nice one greg, she's pretty interesting like that.

Beautiful!

I'd love to put a modified delta  a la Chengdu F-7 on the MiG-23.  Either that or a wing similar in shape to the Vigilante combined with a fuselage stretch to smoothly allow for a guy in back.

There will be Japan, Bahrain and Swiss markings.

     Many years ago I made a 1/72 Faithless using a MiG-23 fuselage, Mirage IV intakes & Mirage III wings. It looks like a Faithless anyway. I haven't compared it to one of the recent actual Faithless kits tho.

It's trickier than it looks to bash up a MiG-23 and a MiG-21 to make a Faithless.  The wing was about 30% bigger than a MiG-21's, and the fuselage was a completely different shape to the MiG-23's: more like a Mirage III than anything. However, it wouldn't be that easy to use  a Mirage either, since the Faithless's intake trunks taper equally top and bottom whilst the Mirage's taper more at the top, and the's before you even get onto the mid-mounted wing vs. low-mounted wing.

You'd almost be better off splicing a shortened early MiG-21 fuselage apart at the front end and grafting the MiG-23 front in, although that still doesn't get around the wing-size problem.
