Historical Information

Eritrea achieved independence from Ethiopia in 1993, and the Eritrean Air Force was established in 1994. Its earliest aircraft included equipment left behind or inherited from Ethiopian forces, supported by personnel with previous Ethiopian Air Force experience.

The force expanded rapidly as tensions with Ethiopia increased. During the 1998–2000 Eritrean–Ethiopian War, Eritrea operated combat aircraft including the MiG-29, along with trainers, transports, and helicopters. Early Eritrean roundels were used during this formative period before later insignia variations appeared.

These markings are ideal for aircraft representing the early Eritrean Air Force and the Eritrean–Ethiopian conflict.

The Eritrean Air Force was created only after independence, and its markings evolved during the service’s rapid early development. Reference photographs are recommended when modeling a specific aircraft from the 1994–2000 period or later service.
