Also was wonderfull to meet fellow modellers that`re in this fantastic forum and in WnW fans facebook page.

​Yesterday, members of my 2 clubs, Temecula Valley Model Club and Pendleton AMPS, were invited to tour Legends and Hobbies Distribution. They import and distribute AFV, Merit, Takom, Kinetic and others. Also, they do all the molding for Jaguar there on site. Tony Chin, who owns 100% of Merit and and 10% of Dragon/DML let us parouse his warehouse unattended. Kids in a candy store. He also fielded our questions on the state of the modeling world and gave us some interesting perspective on the relationship between Chinese model companies and the Chinese government. We were allowed to grab what we wanted at a 20% cut. I was the cheap there and only bought a few items. Some people there were dropping some serious greenbacks. I scored the AFV NM 116 and some after market goodies.

Seriously now - I did not know of a Flogger crash in Belgium. Tell us more.

The panel is a nice color reference - is that the Russian interior green ?

In 1989 a unmanned Flogger-B crashed in the vicinity of Kortrijk, Belgium.

 

That's indeed authentic Russian interior green George.

 

 

 

If you treat these MIG's  with the same skill as usual I'll be looking forward to the build(s), Danny.

Off course George, i wouldn't wanted it another way mate.

 

 

 

Is that the Mig that flew on without a pilot?

Cees 

Indeed Cees, i got this piece from a person who was involved in the recovery of the wreckage that day.

 

Here's the whole story

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Belgian_MiG-23_crash

 

And some sound fragments of the conversation between the F-15 pilots who intercept the MIG and ground stations.

So, you will be modelling this in flight, and without a pilot ?

The MIG 23 will be placed in static position with a pilot George.

As i do not know witch markings the particular MIG carried (according to one of the F-15 pilots, it carried the number "Bort 29" underneath the cockpit) i will model a Sovjet MIG 23 that is almost similar to the one that crashed, but with the known and accurate markings. I use for this decals from Linden Hill.
