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
@ssenmodnar At the time of this teaser, it was around 200, but right now it is at 350.

@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
I'm looking forward to riding this machine :D

Did not know that the fin under the engine folds like that. Very cool
Day 2 of asking a g4 eurofighter typhoon
Day 1 for asking a G4 eurofighter
Day 3 (non-consecutive) of asking reinmcdeer to make f111 aardvark
New build looks rad btw
@ShinyGemsBro maybe (tm)
I've been making a lot of US aircraft recently so I want to build some aircraft for REDFOR or other NATO countries for a bit
@ToeTips Just got it to work with postimages.org, pics should be up
@ReinMcDeer
Post Images?
Still waiting on a G4 Tomcat and Raptor
@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 was thinking my internet was just slow.
Um, were there supposed to be pictures?

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