Academy 1/72 MIG-23S Flogger B: Heritage Fighter in Miniature

The Academy 1/72 MIG-23S Flogger B renders the Cold War fighter with attention to shape and surface features. The model is designed to convey the aircraft's profile and offers a compact project for scale enthusiasts and display collectors.

Historical Role and Scale Accuracy

Known for its variable geometry wing, the MIG-23S is represented here with clear fuselage lines and cockpit detail. The kit provides a concise way to study this aircraft's form at 1/72 scale while remaining true to its historical role.

Assembly Tips and Display Advice

Work in stages: remove flash, test fit major subassemblies and apply filler where needed for a seamless finish. Thoughtful painting and subtle weathering will elevate the model for shelf display.

What glue is recommended for this plastic kit?

Use a solvent-based plastic cement for strong bonds on polystyrene. Apply sparingly to avoid marring fine panel lines.

How do I avoid visible seams on fuselage joins?

Dry fit parts first, then use thin cyanoacrylate or model filler to close gaps. Sand carefully and re-scribe panel lines if needed before painting.

Is weathering recommended for a realistic finish?

Light weathering and panel washes can add depth without overwhelming the small scale. Start subtle and build layers to keep the model looking true to life.
