MIG-21bis 115th GIAP, Soviet VVS, Bagram AB, Afghanistan 1980

Product Dimensions: 8.60 x 3.90 x 2.30 in.

Model History and Information: The MiG-21bis was the final major production version of a fighter family that served across the Cold War and far beyond it. Soviet units deployed the type to Afghanistan after the 1979 intervention, where air operations faced a difficult combination of terrain, climate and insurgency. This 115th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment aircraft at Bagram in 1980 captures the MiG-21 in that early Afghan-war setting rather than in its better-known European front-line role. The named serial, unit, date and finish on this model identify the individual historical subject represented: MIG-21bis 115th GIAP, Soviet VVS, Bagram AB, Afghanistan 1980.
