Product Description
Sharp metal pitot tube enhances the finish
[About the actual machine]
The MiG-23 Frogger was the first Soviet-developed swing-wing fighter.
The initial production model, the MiG-23M, made its first flight in 1972.
The MiG-23MF was later introduced as an export version for Warsaw Pact member states.
It is basically the same as the MiG-23M model, and is equipped with one R-29-300 (R-29A) turbofan jet engine.
The top speed was 1,553 mph.
The radar is equipped with Sapfeel 23D radar.
Armament consists of a 23 mm Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23L cannon mounted in a GP-9 gunpod under the fuselage.
Six hardpoint mounts are provided for the operation of air-to-air missiles, etc.
Exports to Warsaw Pact countries began in 1973, and have since been exported to non-Warsaw Pact countries as well, with some still in operation today, making it a long-lasting and outstanding aircraft.
[About the kit]
This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the MF type, Frogger B, of the MiG-23 Frogger, a swing-wing fighter developed by the Soviet Union, in 1/48 scale.
The finished total length is 35cm.
Just like the full-sized aircraft, the model's swing-wing wings can be opened and closed even after completion.
This kit includes a metal pitot tube.
The kit itself is made of Italeri parts and realistically models the Soviet aircraft's unique fuselage shape, down to the panel lines.
The pitot tube attached to the nose gives the aircraft a sharp look, and is fitted with a Hobby Master turned metal part.
The delicate shape is accurately reproduced and the strength is sufficient.
The large ventral fin attached to the undertail of the fuselage, a distinctive feature of the Frogger, can be assembled in either landing or flying mode, and details such as the cockpit and legs are also mechanically reproduced.
Markings are selected from Soviet Union Air Force aircraft.
It also comes with a masking sheet that is convenient for painting the canopy frame.
