1/48 Trumpeter MiG-23 converted to Mig-27

Hello All.. . .. As there is no accurate conversion set available so as to convert a MiG-23 to a MiG-27, I decided to build the a MiG-27 using the Trumpeter MiG-23 MF kit as a Donor.

So, the scratchbuilt details are the Nose, Splitter Plates, Wing root extensions, nose gear door bulges, armour plates and the antennas under those. . . . . further modified the windscreen, nose gear, main gear, pitot probes, exhaust and various sensors. Added a Quickboost GSH 6-30 Cannon. The armament is to yet to be built. Was planning on 4 Ub-32 rocket pods. Painting was done with airbrushed acrylic paints, and the weathering was done using pre-shading, post-shading and salt techniques. Total build time being about 4 months.

Enjoy the pics.
