DaveJL Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hello all, I've a question on Romanian Mig-23s. Basically, did they have the below paint scheme at any time during the 1970s? All images taken from the net. Thanks in advance Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad edd Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I doubt it. The roundel markings were (re) introduced during 1985. Before that, they wore soviet style stars. They would have been all grey when received by the Romanian Air force, in 1979-1980. During overhauls were gradually painted in camo, with different patterns. I have seen Grey ones with roundels, but never camo ones with stars...
