048022 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-14 “black 10” rrp 8,30€
Messerschmitt Bf 109G-14 “black 10” W.Nr. 464068, pilot Fw. Josip Ceković, Zrakoplovno Lovačko Jato, Lučko near Zagreb, April 1945
On April 16, 1945, Fw. (Sergeant) Josip Ceković defected from the Air Force of Independent State of Croatia to Italy with this fighter airplane, landed at the Iesi airfield and surrendered to the Allied forces. The Air Force of Independent State of Croatia began receiving their first Bf109Gs at the end of 1944. This example was most likely delivered in February 1945 or later, judging by the fact that there are no traces of repainting of the old markings of the Air Force of Independent State of Croatia, while shown markings were put into use in February 1945.

048021 Spitfire Mk. Vc/trop “white G” rrp 8,30€
No. 352 (Y) RAF Squadron / 1. eskadrila NOVJ, March 1945, Vis, Croatia
The aircraft flown almost exclusively by Squadron Leader Hinko Šoić, “white G” MH592, is almost always interpreted from black and white photographs as being painted in a tropical camouflage scheme. However, a few years ago a short color film appeared, from March 1945, which shows that the plane was painted in the standard Dark Green and Ocen Gray scheme and that it had clipped wings.

048020 MiG-21bisD “black 116” rrp 8,30€
EBA, 91. Air Base, Croatian Air Force, Zagreb, Pleso, 2004
A veteran of the Croatian War of Independence, the MiG-21bis “black 116”, was overhauled and upgraded at Aerostar in Romania in 2003, along with seven other airplanes of the same type. All overhauled airplanes received a new designation, MiG-21bisD, and a new camouflage scheme consisting of three colors (green, dark green and gray) on the upper surfaces and light blue on the lower surfaces, and the dielectrics/radomes were painted in a specific radio-transparent blue-green color. In this decal set you can find a camouflage scheme for the MiG-21bisD “black 116” and decals/numbers for “110”, “115”, “116” and “122”. Please note that each airplane had a unique camouflage pattern, so check your references if you chose to make a MiG-21bisD model other than the “black 116”. All mentioned airplanes had service inscriptions in the Croatian language.

048019 F-47D “white 109” rrp 8,30€
F-47D, “white 109”, Yugoslav Air Force, now displayed in the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum, Zagreb
Interestingly, the airplane, at least some of its parts, was a participant in the Croatian War of Independence. Namely, as Croatia was practically disarmed at the beginning of the war, and at the same time the UN declared the embargo on imports of weapons, Croatian armed forces had to manage as best they could. And so, in 1991, the museum’s F-47D “donated” its 12.7mm (0.5in) machine guns for the needs of war. Therefore, if you want to show the airplane as it was before 1991, mount the machine guns (*). You can see this airplane in the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum, Zagreb, Croatia.

048017 MiG-21bis “black 130” rrp 8,30€
124. Lae, Yugoslav Air Force, Bihać, 1990/1991
This plane was shot down by Croatian forces during the Croatian War of Independence, on December 26th, 1991. Pilot Roberto Della Croce managed to eject safely and avoid capture. It is very likely that, at the time of the crash, the numbers on the nose of the plane and on the left wing were painted over in gray, the same or similar color as the rest of the plane. The remains of the plane can be seen in the Museum of the Homeland War Karlovac – Turanj.

No. 352 (Y) RAF Squadron / 1. eskadrila NOVJ, September 1944, Vis, Croatia
This aircraft (EP866) was produced at the Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory as a Spitfire Mk.Vb/trop, but apparently underwent extensive modifications during service, and in the process received new, so-called universal “c” wings, late-type horizontal stabilizers and a new IFF system, and thus practically became Mk.Vc/trop.

048011 Jak-3 “white 03″ rrp 8,30€
Yugoslav Air Force, Pula, Croatia, mid fifties of 20th century
There is little information about this Jak-3 of the Yugoslav Air Force, mainly from the photograph taken in the mid fifties of the last century near Pula (Croatia) which you can find in the instructions. The plane was painted and marked in the standard of the Yugoslav fighters of the time, except that there are, for unknown reason, different shades of blue in roundel and the flag on the rudder. There is a patch on vertical stabilizer of unknown shade of grey paint, while the spinner was most likely painted red (although blue or black are also possible).

15.(Kroat.)/JG52, Eastern front 1942
This aircraft, flown by Croatian ace major Vladimir Ferenčina (11 victories), was possibly made as Bf109G-2/trop, according to tropical filter attachment points on the engine cowling. Note also that digits of number “11″ are not of the same shape and size, thus leading to posibillity that they were painted in different times. There were also remains/traces of original factory codes on the fuselage.

048005 MiG-21bis “Avenger of Vukovar” rrp 8,30€
1st FS, Croatian Air Force, Zagreb Airbase, Pleso, Croatia, 1993
Built in Soviet Union in early eighties of last century, the airplane received Yugoslav AF number 17167. Pilot Capt Ivica Ivandić flew over in this airplane from 124th Fighter Aviation Regiment of former JRV i PVO (Yugoslav Air Force) into free area of Croatia on May 15th, 1992.

Lost in combat on September 14th, 1993, its pilot, Capt Miroslav Peris KIA.
Old yugoslav markings were overpainted with original gray paint. Those places were visible because the original airplane paint already faded, so there was some difference in colour tone. Original yugoslav squadron number “167” remained on the right wing upper surface, but the numbers on left wing and fuselage were overpainted, along with number 17167 on the tail. Note that 1st Fighter Squadron badges on the fuselage (received later) were painted asymmetrically (lower on the right side). The airplane retained original stencils (available separately soon, we hope).
Note that airplane had RSBN aerials, a rounded side windshield and a small bubble behind the canopy, on the left side only.

048001 MiG-21bis “101″ rrp 8,30€
1st FS, Croatian Air Force, Zagreb Airbase, Pleso, Croatia, February 1992
„101“ (ex 133/17133) was the very first jet fighter in Croatian Air Force inventory. It was acquired when Capt (later Col) Danijel Borović flew it over from former JRV i PVO (Yugoslav Air Force) to newly formed HRZ (Croatian Air Force). Capt Borović took of in this airplane on February 4th, 1992 from Bihać, and landed that night in Pula Air Base, while the airstrip was illuminated by truck lights only. „101“ was lost on June 26th, 1992, its pilot Col Antun Radoš KIA.
Due to intensive activities during Homeland war, airplane received markings through several phases, this decal set featuring one of them. Old Yugoslav markings were overpainted with original gray paint. Those places were not so visible because the airplane was recently overhauled in Air depot „Zmaj“ in Velika Gorica near Zagreb (today ZTC), so airplane paint did not fade yet. Numbers were painted, main markings (Croatian coat of arms) were painted, but unfinished. Base of the Croatian flag on the tail was painted too, but the coat of arms on the flag was, in fact, a modified sticker of Croatian Army, smaller than it should be. The sticker fell off during next flight, leaving the tail flag uncompleted. Optionally, you can use „sticker“ decal no. 4. The airplane, marked as described, flew only few days, markings were completed later. The airplane retained original stencils (available separately soon, we hope). Note that the airplane had RSBN aerials, a rounded side windshield and a small bubble behind the canopy, on the left side only.
