DaveJL Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hello all, I'm in need of some information on current Polish Mig-29's. I know they went through some sort of Nato-spec upgrade but i've noted that some have a large antenna behind the cockpit, along with, what I assume, is an IFF system in front of the windshield. However, some aircraft appear to have the antenna and not the IFF. With the IFF: (Net photos) Can anyone tell me if all the jets now have both the large antenna and the IFF or are only a number of jets fitted with both? Also, are there any further modifications needed? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 AFAIK the extra antenna in front of the canopy is a feature of the ex-JG73 Luftwaffe aircraft. HTH, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudolf24 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 After modernization all Polish MiG-29 have got IFF (or mostly all, i'm not sure about 67'). The full modernization set for Polish MiG-29 made Arma Hobby (for 1/48 scale). Of course the RSBN antenna (PE 2 part) is only in MiG-29 from 22BLT (ex German MiG-29).

DaveJL Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Resurrecting this thread somewhat, but can anyone tell me what the correct shades of grey are for the Polish Mig-29s? I've picked up a set of Model Maker decals, but as before, they've no colour call outs. The darker grey looks to me to be Gunship grey, but i'm unsure on the other shades.

Do you happen to know the colours of the Hungarian Mig-29s - the two tone Nato style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as it just so happens... These are: upper fuselage RAL 7000 (approx. FS35237) over lower fuselage RAL 7040 (approx. FS36375). Nice walkaround here.
