Country:  | Wow!! For all the fantastic detail work you would think that a masking 101 would be in order. Don't get me wrong. I couldn't clean the brushes of these gents, but then...

Mig 21s, one of my favorite aircraft to look at. Small, fast, lethal but needing a good driver. I don't think the 21s ever got their true test. I still like to look at them though. I got to sit in one and mess with the controls at Nellis AFB... Adversary Training Center. Quite a thrill. There was a Mig 19, 17, and 27 there that I was also able to look at "close up". | |

Country: | Is that nose art of the eyes typical for Polish Migs, Wurger? (Sorry, I'm pretty ignorant regarding Polish aircraft matters!)
I think I've seen it on Indian Migs before, but I might be just be getting confused (again)...! | |

Country: | It's OK A4K nobody is perfect including me.
But these bird eyes were mostly tipical for planes used by squadrons that operated from airfirlds on Pomerania (Polish coast).These eyes were painted according to attempts to avoid air accidents with birds that occured there very often.The tests revealed that it was enough to paint these eyes only instead of a whole bird head on a plane nose.What is more, it turned out that the most important element of this was a colour of an eye iris.It seems that all birds are able to recognize very quickly what kind of a bird of prey tries to hunt on them just seeing his eye iris.Besides they know all bird hunters that are tipical for the area.There is something in this ,because when these hawk eyes were painted on fuselages the number of accidents greatly decreased.
