Mini hobby models, 1:144 mig-23 , it came with the Mig-27 nose shape!! I have added on to it and started filling to create a more 23 style nose. The canopy cracked too! Was just polishing it n cracked in X2. Had to make one best l could from bit of clear sheet, toaster n paint brush end 2hrs ?!! Nose extension bit of hot stretch spru... Tamiya plastic best

The mini-hobby kits are cheap but very rough round the edges!! I enjoy problem solving n trying to improve what's there, but cracked canopy is not easy fix , l forgot how delicate they can be!!

Getting the nose alteration right has been difficult, lots of low spots from glue n filler, l use a thick artist paint to fill light areas... nearly there.

Eventually got a painted nose shape without messy joint, wish I'd left it be now ??

Green in next, After l check for gaps n check it looks right, masking tape be easier, but l think it has an unnatural hard edge!

Nail liner brush, about £1.30 of eBay, brilliant for small work like canopy n wheels n pilots.
5 to 6mm brush best for this hobby

Just antenna and a bit of touching-up to do now, probably add a bit of heat effect around exhaust.

There is a bit of debris on the canopy, it's from scraping paint to glue in nose wheel, Gravity will cause it to drop eventually I'm sure.
