MarkoZG Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hi, this is the very common MiG-29 livery among kits and decals producers, but I couldn't find any photo of this machine via Google. Can anyone help? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Someone might have more detail but the link below describes the operator as The Centre for Flight Personnel operated by the 1521st. Airbase Unit located at Maryy-1 in Turkmenistan until the collapse of the Soviet Union. Here is a link to some information on the Soviet Aggressor programme - https://thelexicans.wordpress.com/2013/08/12/soviet-aggressor-program/ - which will give you some details that might form the basis for further internet searches. Back in 1996 Fliegerrevue Magazine produced a decal sheet in 1/72 with markings for the MiG-23MLD and both single and twin-seat MiG-29 used by the unit.

MarkoZG Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thank you Des, I am aware of this site, but it didn't provide me with what I am looking for. My main trouble is that this particular machine (red 25) is sometimes depicted as 9-12 and sometimes as 9-13 version, so without exact photo I can't know.

Silverkite Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Pretty sure I once solved that enigma but since I have lost all the data of my past researches, I can only suggest you to use this picture as reference http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_p_1158494.html#1158494 and this because while searching " 1521 Мары-1 МиГ-29 " with and without " номер 25 " all the red numbered Mig-29 were mostly early 9.12 ones with mounted fuselage fins or whatever they are/were called Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 There are three postage stamp sized black & white photographs on the instruction sheet for the decals I mentioned which I could scan for you if that might help but unfortunately the text is all in German. Images are of the cockpit area with sharkmouth and leopard markings captioned MiG-29 , tail area of aircraft 25 captioned MiG-29 and a rear quarter view of a complete aircraft captioned MiG-29 (MiG-29S). PM me with an e-mail address if you would like a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoZG Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Thank you guys. I always find it strange how difficult might be to locate the photo of particular aircraft which is so popular marking subject among kit manufacturers. One would expect it is from commonly available photo when that many producers have chosen it for their product, but in the end of the day it seems they are just "re-writing" from each other.
