Mig 15 bis Korean War

December 24, 2024 · in Aviation · · 8 · 209

Here is a Mig15bis built for a Forgotten Conflict SIG (IPMS NL). Its one of two for the theme War which we showcased for a Nationals at the end of November.

Built with the KMC detail set which includes a replacement cockpit, ejection seat, flaps and rudders. Its a kit so the fit is fine, I added the engine but closed up the fuselage.

The Tamiya '139' is an option of the HM Decals 'B-29 Killers - Russian MiG-15s over Korea' flown by the Russian Capitan Bytchkov van 17 IAP in 1951. The model was painted with Vallejo Metal Colors Aluminium and Dural Aluminium with Tamiya Smoke for highlights and Flory Models Grime wash for the panel lines .

Regards and Merry Christmas to you all
Brian
