  Hi Steve,

  I have two groups of aircraft model pictures from my collection on Iranian AF aircraft. The first group consists of the Antonov AN-74 T-300 and the Su-24 while the second group to be treated separately deals with the F5, F-14, Su-25 and F-27. The reason that I suggest to treat them separate is because there are quite a number of photos in each case and the first lot that I am sending as on the first group.

  The An-74 is made out of an Eastern Express An-72 kit to a scale of 1/72. This is a straight from the box kit and the extra work includes additions of antennae, aerial camera under the fuselage, generator fairing to starboard of fuselage undercarriage bay. Apparently the aircraft can be utilised as both transport and patrol of territorial waters and coastal 200 mile zone bay and by night at altitude of 1000 metres at 350 Km/hr for 7 hours. Alternatively it can carry 68 passengers,57 parachutists and 24 stretchers.

  The Su-24MK Fencer D is made out of the Italeri/Dragon kit Su-24 to scale of 1/72. It has a forward fuselage extension by 1/2" forming a slightly droop nose, added a front refuelling probe to forward of fuselage, a Kaira-24eo target system under forward fuselage, modified nose probe for D version and modified rear tail sensor to a simpler type used on export versions of the Su-24. It is finished in camouflage colours of the 72nd Sq of the IRIAF based at Shiraz 1997 which was then one of 24 Fencers in service.

  Another group of pictures will be sent dealing with a different subject as mentioned earlier to follow the first group.

  Cheers
