Greetings, gents:

I finished this bird at the start of summer this year. It is the new-tooled Airfix kit in 1:72 scale, enhanced by the addition of Eduard pre-painted Zoom sets, which really set off the cockpit interior nicely, as well as the landing gear bays and the airbrake door interiors. Red 16 is reportedly the last Mig-15bis that Fedorets flew in the Korean War, scoring a total of six victories. Hope you enjoy the pictures, and as per usual, all comments, positive or negative, are welcome. It is how I learn....

Nice work. Makes me wonder if a brush finish might been better in this scale. Lovely work though. I continually learn.

Thanks, gents, for all the kind words! To Airframes: I posted the pics and comments about the two builds in "The Cold War Projects", because I couldn't think of a more appropriate place for them, even though I know that the deadline for participation has long come and gone!

Next up: My build of the 1:72 Azur Breguet 396, which has so far proved to be quite a challenge, testing my patience in many ways, but I am hanging in there! Many thanks to Wojtek for steering me straight as per the correct interior colors! Hope to post pictures of the finished product sometime next month.... stay tuned!!

Great build .... pretty jet, the Mig 15. I never think of Korean Migs in camo - just polished aluminum - the way the movies and comics of the time displayed them ..

I made the original Airfix Mig 15 kit in the '50s - when it came in a plastic bag and cost CDN$0.99 .... I painted it all Testor silver. Looked lovely but showed finger prints real bad ...
