Servus Karl,

 

here are some links which contain a few photos of Cuban MiG-23s:

 

http://www.urrib2000.narod.ru/EqMiG23-e.html

One of the most comprehensive resources for the Cuban Air Force (DAAFAR) in general.

Notice that the MiG's were given a new paint job a few years ago. Earlier they carried the known Dark Blue/Olive camo. Now they feature various blotches of green and brown.

Recent photos suggest that currently the roundels are carried only on the fuselage sides (no roundels on the wings).

 

Hope this helps!

 

Schöne Grüße aus Wien,

Markus

That's a pity.

 

I found this picture of a Cuban MiG-23 in a museum which has the splitterplates in natural metal (or aluminum?). So maybe they were simply unpainted?

 

Considering there is almost nothing available (in public sources) in the way of pictures of DAAFAR Aircraft you could go by this approximation and call it good.

Btw, which kit will be the basis for your Cuban MiG?

 

Grüße,

Markus

thank you carlos, i was aware of the drawing, but not of the Aztec sheet. it has the same pic as displayed above on it. the FS callouts of the blue/green/gray paint is very useful though. thanx again
