  Hi, this is my 1/72 Bilek MiG-23 MF of the Romanian Air Force. The kit is a conversion from ML to MF, I added the tale spine and modified the landing gear.

  The MiG-23 entered in service with the Romanian Air Force in 1979 in two variants MF and UB (36 MF and 10 UB), it was used until 2001. There were two air bases equipped with the MiG-23, 57th  near Constanta and 93rd  near Timisoara.
  Both photos were made on 16 july 1991, the first one is somewhere over Constanta, near the Black Sea and the second on the 57th air base. The red 409 was stored in 2001 in 93rd air base.
  I saw the MiG-23 in the summer of 2001, it was the last flight in front of a huge crowd along with the single MiG-29 able to fly at that time.
