The MIG-23 M model by Dmitriy Andruhov is a neat little kit from Trumpeter in 1:48 scale, and the first thing that grabs my attention is the tidy paint job. The colors are well balanced, and the subtle panel lines really bring the design to life. You can tell that this was put together with a lot of care and patience. It’s refreshing to see such clean lines and attention to detail—makes you appreciate the time invested in it.

Fun fact about the MIG-23: it was one of the first Soviet fighters to feature a variable-sweep wing design, giving it impressive versatility and speed. I’ve read it could pivot its wings to adapt to different airspeeds, which was quite a leap in aviation tech back in its heyday. I find it fascinating how they pushed the boundaries to create something that versatile during that era.

What truly makes this model worth a second look is the balance between accuracy and creativity. Dmitriy managed to capture the essence of the MIG-23 beautifully. It’s a piece that not only represents a specific era in aviation history but also shows how a well-done model can evoke a real sense of the original aircraft’s presence.
