TheyJammedKenny! Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Beautifully done! Interesting "kill" marks on this one, too. Just saw the Star of David and the Iranian roundel on it. What's the back-story? I can't remember which Iraqi air base was Al Rashid. Perhaps it was down south? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierpaolo Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi @TheyJammedKenny! and thank you According with the kit instructions Quote MiG-21MF numbered 1019 took part in the Yom Kippur War when it served as part of the expeditionary force with No.11 Squadron when it was sent to Syria. On October 22nd, 1973, according to Arab sources unconfirmed by Israeli ones, Namiq Saadallah shot down an Israeli Mirage III. Seven years later, in the war with Iran, 1st Lt. Sadik shot down an Iranian F-4E Phantom II with an R-13M missile flying this airplane. The front of the aircraft carried the Arabic numerals 1019 and below the windscreen was a record of the kills achieved in this aircraft. Al Rasheed Air Base is a major Iraqi Air Force base on the south east outskirts of Baghdad Thanks to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
