Model Info About the Actual Aircraft   The Syrian Air Force was formed in 1948 when the first class of Syrian pilots completed training at a British flight school. Syria and Egypt tried to join together to form a United Arab state but when that didn’t work out Syria turned to the Soviet Union for their military needs while Egypt opted for Western technology. Syria was provided with several types of MiG aircraft of which one type was the MiG-21MF. In conflict after conflict with the Israeli Air Force Syria always came out with heavy losses. In one day alone Syria lost 100 aircraft in the skies over Lebanon with zero losses to the opposition. Through all the encounters and heavy losses MiG-21MF (2300) managed to survive two wars and was still in service well into the 1990s. The aircraft was flown with the paint scheme it arrived with from Gorky Park. The two-tone upper surface camo scheme with a sky blue under side and centerline drop tank was fine over Syria but not very effective over the Egyptian desert. The serial number is an oddity because it is smaller than usual and even smaller above the fin-flash. The MiG-21 was equipped with R-3S missiles on APU-13 launch rails on the inner wing pylons as well as R-3R missiles on APU-13 launch rails on the outer wing pylons. The aircraft had been assigned to the Syrian Air Force 5th Squadron based at or near Damascus. The Syrian roundel is very similar to that of Egypt with three concentric circles. The inner circle is black surrounded by a white circle that is surrounded by a red circle. The exception between the two roundels is the Syrian has two green stars on the opposite sides of the white circle. These are the same markings found on the Syrian national flag. Superb detailing in 1/72 scale.  Pre-painted with pad applied markings.  Fully assembled.  Display stand included.  Option to display model with wheels up or down.  Minimum use of plastic.  Very collectible
