ive got a pic of an ethiopian 23BN with the same flare dispenser… curiously to what u mean by “my piece of work”? 🙂
if u know about the type of mods done to the ehtiopian machines, please share with us!! 😀 😀
managed to dig though the raw website and got a higher res image of the mig i posted before :dev2:

syrian mig-21:
egyptian F-7
if its the replicators, dont worry, we just need to upload vista onto them :dev2:
or Rare 😀 😉
oh dear -o-dear lol
lets try again….
*it features the the telltale double fuse/tail positions of an ethiopian machine
*it has the same block font for the bort numbers
*the borts are in the 1*** range of Ethiopian machines
*the roundel is in the position of Ethiopian mig-21s
the reasons why it dossnt add up to a libyan machine:
* no tail flag, every libyan aircraft i have a pic of displays a green tail flag.
* all libyan russian aircraft carry the roundel on the foward fuselague
*Libyan mig-21s carry large 3 digit borts in 7** or <100 range
*the green ‘roudel’ looks more to be a paint over, notice it issnt symmetric?
in the end, just look at the pics 😉

from its low bort number its possible it was never delivered (as Cy24driver1 sugested), though a number of mig-23UB/bn were serviced or stored/left at Skhnilov AB in L’vov (also home to the Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant)
additionally could of been sent before 91 and left or replaced with another airframe (whcih i personally suspect)
here are some pic’s ive bene to lazy to upload recently 😀
a ‘new’ Afghan mig-17

id have to disagree, looks to me that it is simply being ‘greened’ over: common when bein worked on in an overseas country, libyan migs carry the green roundel on the nose and also have a tail flag.
the position of roundel and the double block serials on the nose and tail in the 1XXXX make me 100% sure the mig-21 is ethiopian

i the case of morocco and Saudi deals falling apart it apparently is due to French insistence on package deals: “if you want the planes, u have to buy the tanks and frigates too”. nothings more annoying than someone trying to sell you something your not after! :diablo:
