Flowers,

I'm afraid your only option for a 1/48 MiG 23/27 is finding the old ESCI Flogger series, which has been long out of production. There was a decent vacurform/resin 27 Flogger upgrade set made for the the kit years ago, and Linden Hill Imports may still carry it. I've got a copy of it, and it included vacuform forwrad fuselage halves, resin cockpit and external detail bits, photoetch and dry transfer markings for several Soviet and export aircraft. I have one around here somewhere but can't find it or remember the manufacturer. As soon as I do, I'll try to post more info on it.

Hope that helps
