MIG-21 MF Angolan Air Force
Hey Fellows!!!
Here is my new concluded project…
It is the MIG-21 MF “African MIG” Fujimi 1/72.
The Angolan AF received several of the fighters in 1976 ti be used in the initial phases of the “War of the Bushes” against to South Africa Forces.
The MIG-21 where operated by Cuban Pilots with no so good results.
In this years, the “MF’s” used an “over painted” scheme in sand/light green/ AC blue… In this aircraft are not visible stencil, with the rudder stripes painted with
the national colors and the serial in the nose, without national emblems in the wings.
The C-48 was delivered to Angola in 1976, and was damaged in a hard landing (Hydraulic failure 1980?) with the Ct. Benigno Cortes in the cockpit. The scene was photographed, and is the only one picture of African MF’s, with 4 missile “Atoll” under wings.
