Mig 15bis Korea War II - Trumpeter

December 24, 2024 · in Aviation · · 9 · 216

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

Built using the Trumpeter straight out of the box which is quiet a good kit only the fit around the cannon and machine guns in the nose was rather fiddly. Like the Tamiya kit there is an engine but I closed up the fuselage.

The decals for the Trumpeter-kit are from the Owl Decals ‘Mikoyan MiG 15bis Night Fighter Red 546 (North Korea)' and features a a/c flown in 1952 by the Russian I.P. Galyshevsky of the 351e IAP. These were so-called 'B-29 killer' nightfighter. The colour scheme is one of those ones were there are 5 different circulating on the Internet so I picked one and painted it. Scheme was realsied using Blu-Tack line masks of the green and then oversprayed with Tamiya Buff XF-57. Flory Models Grime wash for the panel lines .

Merry Christmas
Brian

      The Trumpy kit was quiet good actually, not Tamiya good but a solid kit. The only fiddley bit werr thr nose armaments. How was the Bronco build ? I am toying on doing one to have an actual Korean piloted plane.
