I must say, Denis0102’s build of the Mig 1.44 model in 1:72 scale by Zvezda looks really clean and sharp. The photos highlight the fine paint job, catching the eye immediately with its smooth surface and neat panel lines. There’s something satisfying in seeing how meticulously each line has been applied, almost as if it was meant to be this way from the start. It’s like looking at a perfectly ironed shirt.

Now, thinking back to the real Mig 1.44, which was part of Russia’s answer to advanced Western fighter jets, it’s intriguing how it never went beyond the prototype phase. It was all about testing the potential of thrust vectoring and stealth technologies at that time — a kind of experiment, really. This gives the model a bit of a “what-could-have-been” vibe, adding a layer of story to what you’re seeing here.

Denis0102’s attention to detail makes this model particularly interesting. It’s not just a replica, but a reminder of an ambitious era in aviation history. The paintwork and construction here are definitely worth a closer look. It’s fascinating how a scale model can reflect both the craft of the builder and the narrative of the original aircraft.
