A Cuban skin would be cool. Mike

**CG_1976** · August 28th, 2009, 18:28

Were did you find that piccie please. Ive never seen this one. Thank you for Posting it, its going to be added to my DAAFAR collection.

***aeronca1*** · August 29th, 2009, 04:33

Yes, nice pic! It clearly shows the very distinctive "sit" of this aircraft. Cuban schemes ar3e quite pleasing to the eye in my opinion.

**SteveB** · August 29th, 2009, 04:42

I've started on one very early WIP i'll do some more on it tonight.

**Desert Rat** · August 29th, 2009, 09:18

That cuban one looks to be sitting very butt heavy, looks like it's lost hydraulic pressure or something.

Not sure if this model can be adjusted, sure the contact points can be, but the model animations probably will not follow suit. Resulting in floating and sunken wheels. The source files would maybe be required.

I have vague recollections of the stance being discussed when either this or the AS 23 was released. Was there something about the stance only being so low with the engines off or something. Heck, it might have been a different kite altogether, just a vague memmory I have, dim at that 'tis all.

Great looking Cuban skin BTW, nice/odd choice of camo colours they have in Cuba.

I remember thinking the same thing the first time I saw an Egyptian 23 or was it Syrian, lol, the mind is getting old. The Cuban one is sitting a mite lower than most, but that could be accounted for by the fact it's parked on the grass. All 23's/27's I've seen have that nose up stance however.

**SteveB** · August 30th, 2009, 06:57

Most 23/27's that have been parked up for too long loose hydrolic fluid from the suspension, thus making them sink on the undercarriage. most museum aircraft sit too heavy for this reason.

***aeronca1*** · August 30th, 2009, 07:55

Agreed Steve, but the ones I saw were operational a/c. I travelled a lot to Egypt, Syria and Lebanon back in the day.

the MiG 23/27 are bum heavy but is you stand em still too long the hydraulic seals perish so museum aircraft are even more bum heavy than serviced flying aircraft, if you put any ordanance on those cuban ones in the photo's the exhaust would be dragging along the runway.

**SteveB** · August 31st, 2009, 16:32

I have just uploaded the Cuban and Indian schemes.

Steve

**Flyboy208** · August 31st, 2009, 19:00

Thanks for the Cuban skin Steve as well as the Indian one Mate! Mike

**SteveB** · September 3rd, 2009, 03:56

I have updated the Sri Lankan paint as well.

**paul day** · September 3rd, 2009, 04:47

This would make a great repaint, especially as you have your grey paint pot out .

In the meantime I have just uploaded the Sri Lankan update.

Steve

I tried to provide a link but it obviously did not work. "Photo ID: 1004780" is from Airliners.net

Regards Paul Day.

**SteveB** · September 3rd, 2009, 06:44

Thats a MiG 23 not a 27. Bloomin nice paint scheme though.
Heres a WIP of a Tajikistan scheme I am playing with.

**SteveB** · September 3rd, 2009, 08:48

I have also updated the default Indian Scheme and have a Kazakhstan almost finnished.

I have just uploaded the Indian Update, it will show up later.

**SteveB** · September 4th, 2009, 07:58

I thought it was about time the Syrian's got picked on

astrojet · September 4th, 2009, 08:39

Thanks, Steve. Very kind of you to offer this fine model as freeware.

***OBIO*** · September 4th, 2009, 09:12

Not meaning to still any of Steve's thunder, but there are a considerable number of paints for this model over on Flightsim.com (Mike Pearson) and AVSim.com (David Brice)...though a lot of David's paints depict the 27 as a 23....given the fact that the two planes are very very very similar, it is nice having the Mig-23 added to the mix.

**SteveB** · September 4th, 2009, 12:31

Well I think my cammo works in a desert enviroment.

Just uploaded the Syrian scheme.
