Very cool project, the French-style refeuling probe looks wacky (but in a good way?)
Best of luck!

Count me in. Seeing this kit I promise I will not complain about the Clear Prop kit anymore. 😉

Taking a seat.

I was just wondering - the cardboard hangar for this project wouldn't even require painting 😉 It really looks like made of paper on these airshow pics 😄

Raphael Bernecole
Nice Project ! 🙂

Guy Rump
I'm taking a seat too. 👍

Cuajete
Me 8!

I agree with Łukasz hilarious comment 😄

Great job so far, Marius! 👌

Alec K

Very promising!

Bernd Grün
Great job so far, Marius! 👌

Cuajete
Fantastic job so far, Marius!
Could that scriber be like this other one? I think it's 1mm thick:

Thank you guys for following.

@ Lukasz: I never noticed the similarity to cardboard, but now thanks to you, I can't unsee it. 😆
@Cuajete: yes, that is the tool. I was looking for it last night, but couldn't find it. Thank you for the link!

Finn
Nice, will follow

Thomas Kolb
The camo paintjob looks splendid! I am really impressed with such consistent soft color transitions.

Ekki
Will follow too.

Marius
Thank you Thomas, Ekki and Finn!

@Thomas, I did greatly evolve in that respect since I switched to the Mr. Hobby paints. Since then, I do mostly or only free hand airbrush camo painting. I guess paint quality matters a lot.

@Clement: I know your comment is only 5 months old, but that IFR probe was intriguing to me too and until recently I had no answer to that. It seems that this is the only known documented Iraqi MiG-23 to receive the IFR probe, with a couple of more assumed or rumoured to have received this modification (although there is no evidence for that). I will go as far as assuming the Iraqis retrofitted the IFR probe from their Mirage F1s. Any resemblence is purely "accidental".

On a side note, two Lybian MiG-23BNs are also known to have received a similar French style probe (with one crashed and lost in 2016):

It's good to see this one with her colors. Looks like the hardest part is behind you, I hope it will go smoothly until the finish line.
Thanks for the pics and article, very informative stuff.

Nicolas
I missed this one. Looks very good so far. I Will follow across the finish line.

Thank you mates, the finish line should be near!
