Historical Information

Bort numbers are visible tactical aircraft identifiers associated especially with Soviet and Russian military aviation. They allow an individual aircraft to be recognized within an operational setting without relying on its full production or service serial.

The numbers are commonly displayed prominently on the forward fuselage or another easily viewed part of the airframe. Their placement is separate from the national star or roundel, which identifies the service or nation rather than the individual aircraft.

Red, blue, and yellow are among the colors encountered in this numbering tradition. Outline treatment, typeface, number height, and the use of leading zeroes can differ between aircraft and units, so a color alone is not enough to establish a particular aircraft's identity.

Choose a number and color combination documented for the aircraft being modeled. Where several similar aircraft are displayed together, matching their individual bort numbers helps distinguish them while preserving the common unit marking style.
