Here are my 1:72 models of all the MiG
aircraft operated by the Indian Air Force. They are the Eastern Express MiG 21-93 (MiG-21
Bis upgrade), Hasegawa, MiG 25 A converted to an RB version, Academy MiG 23 MF with two
R-60s and two R-23s, Academy MiG 27 modified to an MiG 27 ML with 4 X 1000lb bombs and 2 X
UB-57mm-32 rocket pods (by chopping of the nose entirely and building a new extended and
re shaped one out of balsa and shortening the nose oleo to make the tail sit higher than
the MiG 23 and adding strakes ahead of the wing root leading edge and armour plate either
side of the cockpit). And finally the Academy MiG 29A with Cutting Edge decals for a 28
sqn ACM scheme with two R-27s and two R-60s.
A MiG 21 leads a MiG 23, 25, 27 and five MiG 29s
of the IAF for a historic photo op in 1987. |
