Many thanks all. This is what the Eduard description says about this aircraft:
Being the first Cuban jets, MiG 15bis aircraft were delivered to Cuba in May, 1961 - a month after the Pigs Bay invasion. As a result, these jets took no part in the defense against the unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Fidel Castros communist regime. This bird was flown by Henry Perez, the author of the autobiographical book "Piloto Maestro" and was one of the most experienced and decorated pilots. Afterwards, he became a member of the Cuban Armed Forces deployed to Angola in the eighties. He was shot down by AA fire while flying a MiG 21 over the town of Luau on October 30, 1983.
