Why was half of the pylon painted black?
Wurger, do you have any photos that clearly show these emblems?It is not black but it is of the Dark Green camouflage colour. It was painted in the way because the front part of the pylon was seen from the bird view. In other words from the top. The part under the wing wasn't seen so it stayed in the light blue-grey colour.
Wurger, why is the emblem of the GDR Air Force different on some planes?

No, no. I know the camouflage scheme. The question is different. Do you know the names of the colors the plane was painted with?
Wurger, do you know the story of 455Stas1234

If USSR, then "Chuguev". I would recommend using the traditional transliteration of Russian-language place names if we are talking about Soviet times - it may be helpful if further search for information is necessary. The transliteration of the modern Ukrainian name can be additionally specified.Chuhuiv, USSR.
Are there any photographs of him at the exhibition in Poznań?It is the MiG-23MF, serial 0390217146. She was made 25.04.1979 and delivered to Poland on 04.06.1979.

In case it might be useful to you in some way, here is a photo of a MiG-23MS that I took last month at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. I don't know why I took only one picture of this plane. (I took a total of about 400 photos that day, and I think my brain was fried by the time I got to this plane!)Hello, dear. I am engaged in drawing textures on 3D models of aviation, earlier I created a topic on this forum related to and Fw-200 and very much corresponded concerning Ar-234
FW-200 C-1 Condor
Hello. We really need drawings of the FW 200 C1 aircraft. Or more precisely, the location of the lines in the drawing. I searched on the Internet and basically there was only this drawing: But judging by historical photographs, these drawings are incorrect. Since they don't even have hatches...ww2aircraft.net Now I have a new project. A project to create textures for the Soviet fighter Mig-23M. I drew it literally from scratch. I drew every joint, every rivet and spot welding lines from real photographs.

For this project I ordered 4 personal photo reviews of Mig-23 in the city of Irkutsk and Tolyatti
I will leave you links from Yandex disk to these photo reviews, I hope they will help you
A month before the start of the MiG-23 project, I completed the MiG-21Bis project.

Unfortunately, I can't finish my project for one simple reason... I can't find the technical inscriptions, or more specifically, the technical inscriptions located on the roof of the plane.

I searched for this information in every possible way, but came to the conclusion that these photos are not on the Internet
I tried to contact the administration of the Air Force Museum in Dęblin (Poland) and the Langelandsfortet Museum (Denmark) These museums have a MiG-23 exhibit with technical inscriptions. But both museums ignored me
But I managed to contact by email a person who visited this museum 9 years ago. Then he took a couple of dozen high-quality photos and shared them with me. I will also leave you a link to Yandex-disk
I came to the conclusion that it would be best to find decals from assembly models of this aircraft in 1:32 and 1:48 scale. The 1:72 scale is almost illegible.
But here too there were difficulties with finding these decals... I found the layout of the positions without any problems, but I couldn't find anyone who could tell me what was written there.

Therefore, I appeal to you, the participants of this forum, for help, share with me any information you have regarding the MiG-23 family of aircraft.
Also in the future I plan to remake the Mig-23M stencils for other modifications, such as MLD/ML/MF
I would be grateful if you provide me with information on these aircraft modifications as well
What is this Hybrid ML and MLD? As I understand it, this is one of five aircraft received by the National Museum of the US Air Force from the former GDR on March 27, 1991. The original B/N was "Red 338", although the West Germans applied "Black 20 15". Served in the 9th Fighter Regiment of the GDR Air Force.146 - Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-23 MF Flogger B (Poland - Air Force) / Other location - Sady k/Poznania Poland [/]
