Pete in a shed Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Very nice indeed, I like this a lot. Ive never seen a sabre in Iranian/UN colours before, very different. What company are the decals from? Also did the Iranians use any other aircraft in the Congo? Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
