But can they fly? Last I heard spare parts were hard to come by.
Also, how many of these are re-marked Iraqi planes that the Mullas were hiding for (and from) Saddam?

These are models.
None of the iranian fighters are Saddam's air planes!
The Shah bought them in 1970s

LOL - Still look like smoking holes waiting to be created in the ground.

So what vintage are these photos (of the actual a/c, not
the models)?
Are any of these still airworthy?

I believe the Iranian jets are in good condition and can fly!

The Shah had actually ordered 160 F-16's and 250 F-18's, Khomeini canceled the orders. If the Shah had remained in power Saddam would not have dared attack, or been trounced if he had. You can thank Jimmy Carters "human rights" policy.

Whoever built those models did a very fine job. Most of them look like they were Hasegawa kits.

Nice photo gallery of 30+ year old American firepower.
Kinda like viewing an aviation museum.

Hangar areas and aprons on real a/c look exceedingly clean. "Static display" models?
Good pic's, Thanks.
