The Perfidious
MeGa-23PO
A Khakas MэГa-23ПO in regular silver livery, circa 1991.
The Meitarius-Gastrov MэГa-23ПO is a third-generation fighter fielded by the Khakassia National Garrison Air Force. Developed by an alliegance between Gastrov, Khakassia's largest military-industrial firm, and Meitarius, one of the two Kimmerian aircraft design bureaus responsible for the famed MeMe-21, MeMe-23, MeMe-25S, the MeGa-23PO is one of the most plentiful fighters in Khakassia. Great inspiration was brought by Meitarius from the MeMe-23MF, and they applied some of the lessons they learned during the MeMe-23's Kimmerian days of weaning to heart; however, it would still suffer from some of the same famed issues as the early MeMe-23s, with early production runs of the MeGa having a Look-Down/Shoot-Down Radar based upon the one of Kimmerian design, with this and other issues not being rectified until later production runs.
Awesome-o-saurus had already gotten too many requests from others to be able to use his planes, so I took it upon myself to make my own. That, and John Moffat telling me to make a MiG-23 "Better than Awe's", drove me to progressively despise planes more and more. Infinite thanks, as always, to Sebastian, you bastard, for making me keep fixing all of my mistakes with it until it actually looked good, and fulfilled my objective of making one better than Awe's. Just ignore that I messed up scaling the diagram and it's now 64 studs long instead of 54.
