MIG-23MF "Flogger G" Soviet No.27
Meant as a point defense fighter, MiG-23 offered a powerful radar, an
infrared search and track system, a selection of radar and infrared
guided weapons and tremendous speed (Mach 2.35) to counter its
adversaries. The MiG-23 was designed in 1964-66 as a successor to the
MiG-21. In addition to a much more powerful engine, the MiG-23's most
significant new feature was its variable sweep wing. Like the USAF's
swing wing F-111, the sweep of the wings could be changed in flight.
Fully spread, this gives a shorter takeoff/landing roll while carrying a
heavier weapons load. With the wings fully swept back, the MiG-23 has
greater speed. The wing has three sweep settings: 16, 45, and 72 degrees
or variable. The prototype first flew in April 1967 and MiG-23s began
entering operational service in 1971. By Kazunori Ito

NORTH AMERICAN P-51B/C MUSTANG
Gladys, P51C, 43-24959, 26th FS, 51st FG, Kunming, China. Fall 1944.
Overall Natural Metal with Olive Drab anti-glare panel. P-51B/C MUSTANG
On 30 November 1942, Bob Chilton took the XP-51B into the air for the
first time. After 45 minutes Chilton was forced to land with an
overheated engine. It was discovered that a chemical reaction between
the different metals in the cooling system and the glycol coolant was
causing lhe radiator to plug up. At the same time, a new larger radiator
system was planned because of the demands of the aftercooler. A bigger
radiator demanded a redesign of the air scoop. The first design was
found to cause excess noise in flight, leading to its further redesign.
The new scoop was added to the second XP-51 B, 41-37469. Tests revealed
that the XP-51 B was 50mph faster and had a service ceiling some 10,000
feet greater than an Allison-powered Mustang. So glowing were North
American's predictions for the new aircraft that the US Army Air Force
had ordered 400 P.51 Bs three months prior to the first test flight of
the XP-51 B. FSDS MODEL DRAWING AND TEXTURE BY JRLUCARINY
