Looping Hog / MiG-23MLD Flogger-K V2.0

I haven't made a REDFOR aircraft in a while so I decided to start working on a MiG-23. This is the MLD variant, the last production MiG-23, and the most maneuverable (but still not very).

I also wanted to try tackling the MiG-23's complicated rear landing gear, where some of the panels are located on the gear legs themselves. In the end, it worked out really well and it's nice and flush when it folds in.

The wing sweep is manually controlled by the pilot with four positions: no-, quarter- (this position is exclusive to the MLD), half-, and full-sweep. I'm planning on using the upper half of the trim slider for the sweep control since its unused on all my G4 builds so far.

Obviously, it's still work in progress. The nose gear is still in an early state and the airbrakes are not installed yet. The flight model and fuel consumption are in a good spot though.

For weapons, I'm planning on adding the R-60M Aphid and R-24R Apex, as well as a GSh-23L autocannon.

    @ReinMcDeer that seems really low, but I guess that's your specialty

    @Applecrumble By the end of this year, Discord will stop allowing image hosting (i.e. the image links wont work outside of Discord).

    @ReinMcDeer what’s with the discord thing, I use that and I don’t think there’s a problem

    @ToeTips Aye there was. I was trying Google Photos as a hosting software because of the Discord fiasco but it looks like I'll have to use something else.

    I assume asking for a T means we’ll get tagged when it’s uploaded?
