Blue Rider BR 804: Yugoslav Air Force 1992

This particular sheet comes from 1993, right in the middle of the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. By this time, it was thought it would be a good idea to get rid of the old insignia and use one that was a bit more distinctive. In that regard, they went with a segmented circle in blue, white and red.

This sheet covers a variety of aircraft wearing those particular markings.

First is a MiG-21bis in overall light grey.  Next in the images to the left is an Alouette III. This one is white over insignia blue. The third option is for an ambulance aircraft Mi-8 in dark green over light grey. This is followed by a Mig-29 UB in the usual light grey/medium grey wraparound scheme. Finally a Galeb G-4 trainer in dark green and dark grey wrap scheme. Several of these have no serial readily visible in the reference image. Probably to keep the actual numbers of these planes a bit of a secret.

The sheet has all the markings needed to complete each option. Finding kits will not be difficult, with the probably exception of the Galeb as I know of no readily available kit for this particular aircraft.

if you can find the kits, and locate this sheet somewhere, it would be well worth considering for your next build project.
