Cuban Air Force.
Posted: 18 Jan 2009, 21:12
With the release of the new Mig29 I just couldn't help myself. I fly in Cuba alot with FSEconomy so I'm sure I'll be running into these birds once in a while.
The Cuban AF doesn't have many airworthy aircraft at the moment. And the ones they do have aren't in very good shape. This repaint, which was a pain...lol...is far from beautiful but then neither are aircraft that have lacked maintenance for several years. This camo scheme has been used as late as last year.
Need to skin the weps and tanks but you get the idea.
One of our members has kindly supplied me with some AFCADs while I was doing the paint and I've written some preliminary flightplans. These pix are from a test of those flightplans.
Hope to have a complete package in a week or so.
Enjoy the show. And don't forget, hide the cigars for the return trip.
