Just a hint: the missile is a radar-controlled... and the MiG-27 had no radar.

no

Depending of what version of 27 you can add some more (i.e. main landing gear - later versions have the samt sit as 23MLs. Also different sensors/noses etc.) All in all - 23BN and (later) 27 are very different planes in detail.

As modeldoc already wrote, the Su-22 was not in Luftwaffe service but flew in the WTD-61 (Wehrtechnische Dienststelle, Military-technical Testing Center). This does not belong to the Air Force but is under the Ministry of Defence. They carried Iron Crosses and the batch of the WTD (as in the decal sheet). Of course it is possible to build a MiG-21 with Iron Crosses, but one should keep in mind that - as mentioned - these were only applied for photo purposes and sometimes only on one side! They never flew like this. Same with MiG-23.

need more? Ilyushin Il-40

what we are talking about? Ilyushin Il-20

No, it's not What you mean is the MiG-27.

The front wheels are bigger (that's why the doors have a bulge, size is 570 x 140). The rudder had no dampers (the BN is closer to the M than to MF (for Trumpy all the same...)). The Delta-antenna on the right fixed wing. The fixed front part of the fin could have the shape of M or MF, check references.

According to the black-and-white pics from these planes I'd say, this model is very close to reality: https://karopka.ru/community/user/6776/?MODEL=245938

There was also an IL-28U for a movie production. Today it's in bad state: https://www.airfighters.com/photo/104850/M/East-Germany-Air-Force/Ilyushin-IL-28U/193/ The iron cross (on strange place) is still visible, the swastika not (no wonder). As this was used for static display only, the right side wasn't camouflaged. If the cammo scheme wouldn't be that difficult, I could not resist...

...and much better than Trumpy (as mentioned) because it has no seams. I use it for my Trumpy as well as for refurbishing the old MPM

I just ordered the replacement canopy from Special Hobby (https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/our-own-production/l-39-injected-canopy-1-48.html?cur=1&listtype=search&searchparam=l-39) I'll try to replace the Trumpy canopy because all tree parts have a nasty seam in the middle (and I'd destroy the windshield during polishing...)

I build the MPM years ago (actually I restore it as some parts were eaten by carpet monster and the canopy is "golden" too...). It might be 10 years ago or more, but I'll never forget the pain with this kit.. At the moment I build the Trumpy one (conversion to V target tug), and it's very nice. Surface is excellent, fit without problems. The level of detail is medium, especially the cockpit deserves something more. As I will close the cockpits (rear cockpit contains only the wire drum), for me no problem. Some problems only with the decals, they are wrong in many details. That's why I was happy to see that HAD Models from Hungary came out with 2 sheets for L-39, among them my East German V! I paid a lot of money, just to learn that "reserach" in Hungarian means the same than in Chinese. Pure disappointment!

AFAIK that's unfortunately correct . I've build their La-9 and it was fantastic too.

I try this: https://picload.org/view/dciapali/dsc_0053.jpg.html The build was complicated due to the huge number of parts. Instruction was not very detailed, lots of tiny parts unclear. The cockpits (3!) and the bomb bay are pieces of art. The clear resin parts are fantastic. All in all a dream of a kit - but it led me to my limits.

I'd like to show some more pics but I'm too stupid. Dunno why it worked once, now I failed (URL box always shows red) File size?

Obviously we'll have a 1/48 mainstream IM Il-28 soon (Bobcat). I do not regret that I've build the expensive (money and time) full-resin version of this plane. I always loved this huge cold warrior - I saw her flying in the early 80s as a target tug (Peenemunde AFB, East German AF). Hope you like it -and please support Bobcat with buying their edition (I'm still waiting for the SB)

no drawings. This one: https://www.amazon.de/Stahlbeton-Gras-Bahnbefeuerung-militärisch-Flugplätze/dp/3981482204 contains at least some drawings, a ground plan among them. It's about East German Airforce buildings and airports. (the first one about Soviet bases in GDR)

maybe this one? http://aerolit.de/index.php?id=15

Please note that the GPM model shows a Polish shelter with some different features compared to other Eastern Block countries. I build the 48 scale version and modified a lot of things to get a German one (different gates a.s.o.). If you want a Polish - the kit is perfect and easy to build (was my first paper model). PS: it might be oop, maybe on evilbay This is my 1/48:

This is the later "Dresden" scheme

100% agree, Jure!

The original soviet painting was for sure not a desert cammo (not helpful in Germany) I try to find this pic in better resolution

The MF on your picture shows the original camouflage as delivered. Only a few of GDR MF's wore this scheme (and no, they all came from Soviet Union). Interesting, some wore a light grey overall scheme. All of them were overpainted during the first maintenance in Dresden Maintenance Factory and got the well known dark green/dark red-brown. The brown faded quickly to more greenish. They never had NMF. BTW: I remember a RATO in during summer excercise in 1981. Take off from grass runway (parallel to concrete main runway) in Peenemuende (JG-9). You'd never forget the noise...
