Air Support...


Quick Reaction Force MiL 8 - not a particularly good model - the quality of the moulding wasn't high but I'm happy with how it's turned out. This represents the one of the first helicoptors supplied to the MPLA forces by the Soviets in late 1975 and maintained and crewed in our alternative timeline by Cubans and East Europeans


MiG 21 from the same manufacturer. Again, not a high quality model, but it'll do. I've not put numbers or national insignia on these aircraft because the suppliers are trying to rwmain incognito and er...because I don't have any Angolan MPLA decals...


Finally, and moving forward to the '80s, a Hind MiL 24 Gunship to take on the SADF Olifants should the South Africans try another invasion of Angola...
