Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-27M Flogger J The first attack variants of the MiG-23 fighter were the MiG-23B and the MiG-23BN; the modifications introduced with MiG-23BM (shorter exaust nozzle, stronger unsercarriage, simpler intakes and no radar) led to a brand new aircraft that was named MiG-27. The MiG-27K was the most advanced Soviet variant produced in about 200 airframes but the model released represents the most produced (360 airframe) MiG-27M;the model is provided in three versions with variable swept wings in different positions. The MiG-27M was cheaper then the K but better than previous MiG-23B,BN and BM variants. 305 of the MB models have been upgraded to the M standard and renamed MiG-27D; after the upgrade they were difficult to distinguish from the real M model. Another externally similar variant was the MiG-27L made for export and assembled in India (later MiG-27H after an upgrade of the avionics). Air forces that used this aircraft were: first the USSR and then Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, India and Sri Lanka. Model 1:100 scale printed at 1:285 with 0.4mm nozzle and 0.12 mm layers. Printed with a Ender3 as shown in the image taken from PrusaSlicer 2.0. I opted for the two parts splitted version in order to maintain the most of tail and nose details; use a bit of sandpaper and at the end the glued junction is not so noticeable and once painted almost invisible.
