COMRADES!!!

Is GLORIOUS day in great Soviet Union!  Presented below is first in series of aircraft deployed aboard our powerful class of Sovietski Soyuz class of aircraft carriers.  The Sovietski Soyuz, and the others of the class (the Sovietski Ukrania and the Sovietski Belarus...  did I mention that my Soviet Navy is truly Glorious?), operated this interceptor starting in the late 60's until 1980 when they were replaced by the more capable Mig-23K.

Another view of what the West calls "A laughable attempt at a carrier-capable interceptor"

Did I mention that this model is 1/72 scale, from some country in eastern Europe, and the fitting is P-O-O-R?

[anthonyp]

Last one... of this type.

Comrade Anthonypski, once more we have demonstrated the superiority of socialist thought in all areas!  The western capitalist pigs will insult our superior technology only to hide their fear that their days of oppressing the masses are soon to come to an end at the hands of our glourious peoples armed forces.

As for the poor fit of the parts, I'm sure Comrade Lacombeski or General Vesperanolivich can recommend a suitable gulag for those responsible.

[Ollie]

Once again comrade, you have outdone yourself.

Za Rodina!

P.S.  Vespernalovitch will be pleased to engulag the traitors.

Truely magnificent Comrade your work will be rewarded with the Order of Lennin and Hero Of the Soviet Union

[Swamphen]

Comrades!

A Flagon of Vodka for Comrade Anthonypski!

Comrade Swamphenaroff

Now that gives me a big gigantic cold war stiffy.

What this what-if is crying out for is to be redone with the Trumpeter 1/48 kit (which is awesome).  That is so totally sweet it makes me want to squeal like a pinched valley girl.

[Captain Canada]

Cold War Stiffy ?

Pass it on......

Sveet ! Weary, weary sveet ! Congratulations, Comrade Anatoli ! Such sexy aircrafts.....is it the VSTOL variant ?

(Soviet National Anthem playing in background)

Nyet, comrade.  I was toying with the idea of making the plane a VSTOL, but it was not deemed possible with the centerline droptank.  I figured that the powerful catapults aboard the Sovietski Soyuz class carriers would propel this anti-western warbird into the air for fleet defense.  This does not mean a VSTOL version is not possible, just need to acquire another poor-fitting kit from that eastern Eurpoean country.

Thank you, comrades, for the accolades, but I do not do this for personal glory!  It is done for the greater glory of the Revolution and Rodina!  Next up, a trip back to the past with a plane for the Rodina's airwing, then to the future...

(fade out Soviet National Anthem...)

comrade, your mastery of the western devil's coarse language is indeed magnificent.

[Ollie]

Maybe a bit too decadent.

We'll run a background check on him, just in case.
