TeeELLs Cuban Air Force collection

[TeeELL]

Hi Migrant,
the decals are aftermarket (eg Aztec have ‘Castro’s Cuban Raiders 1 & 2) or I make them myself, the EE Lightning in particular.

Hi Tony. I'm enjoying this thread. A very unusual subject choice and some very nice builds.

[TeeELL]

Thanks Andy. I must have another 8 types to add to the collection, once constructed.

The latest addition, built as part of the ‘21 @ 61’ GB. MiG-21Bis of DAAFAR possibly still in service. The MiG-21 (F-13) arrived in Cuba in 1962, initially flown by Soviet pilots. A variety of ‘21 variants were operated over the years.

Kora CW-19r used by the Cuban airforce from 1937 to 1948.

[TeeELL]

AZ Models Vultee Valiant (BT-13), acquired by the Cuban Air Force in 1942 and ‘43.

[TeeELL]

RS Models Curtiss Hawk II. Four of these aircraft were purchased for the Cuban Army Air Corps (CAEC).
This model represents the aircraft displayed by Len Povey at the Miami Air Race 1936 where he flew a manoeuvre, subsequently called, the ‘Cuban Eight’.
