discussion MIG 27

[Guest]

Thought this was a late -23 at first but looking at the intakes and a few other details it's a 27

This has seen better days, common consensus seems it hasn't moved for 4/5 years and not flown since about 1992

Yep, it is just possible that the weathering on that MiG may not "just buff right out".

This is a job for Si (eddisolo) , he loves a wreck and I'm sure he would love a crack at this

Great stuff dave
