James, @jamesb
Thanks for the compliments. I have been watching your Glenn Miller UC-64 come along, and it looks fantastic. The paint is very smooth and appears flawless. So your air brushing skills are dialed in pretty darned good ! With your skills, I think that you could pull this off without any problems at all. Give it a try on your P-47 or your Spitfire. I think you can nail it... I really do !

Hello John ! @j-healy

Thank you my friend... I sincerely appreciate this.

What a difference! - that made a cool plane look GR8! And with the decals these two just stand out. Looking forward to the "MiG-meet" when all three crosses the line 🙂

As I mentioned above, tonight I was able to finish up the last two remaining MiG-15 builds.

I did a little touch up painting on the Chinese MiG. There were some paint smudges and I had two fingerprints that had to be wet sanded out. Once this was taken care of, I gave it another coat of Testor's Dull Coat. Once the flat clear had dried, I did the final detail painting on both MiG's.

This consisted of painting the wingtip navigation lights, painting the antennae cable insulators using a dark brown, and detailing the jet exhaust with some pastel powders. Then I used some fine EZ line for the antenna cables. Here's a close up of this on the Soviet MiG 15 "Red 40",

and the Chinese "1209". This is a made up "fictional" Bort number. I wasn't able to find any pictures showing this number in use.

The remaining clear parts were added next. This was the gun camera lens and the landing light cover. Both items are located in or near the intake. The gun camera lens is tiny !

Alas, here's the finish line and all 3 MiG-15's are there ! This is the first photo of "MiG Meet 2019"


and the money shot...

Finally here's a few pictures of each MiG from the group.

and North Korean but flown by a Soviet pilot, "Yellow 758".

If things go as planned, look for a short article to be posted on these remaining two planes. The North Korean MiG-15 has already been posted.

I am so happy that I was able to finish these 3 planes before the deadline. If the deadline wasn't extended until December 31st, these last two wouldn't have made it in time. Sebastijan Videk @inflames
thank you for extending the group build. With everything that has been happening here at home, it was needed. Life has a tendency to get in the way of our hobby on occasions.

These planes would not have the correct colors without help from another friend. Dmitry Stropalov helped me out on more than one occasion and answered all of my questions.

Dmitry, @starfar
once again I thank you my friend for doing this.

Many thanks also go out to all of my friends, who have been following along with me on this journey. Your words of encouragement and compliments made this an unforgettable trip.

Happy New Year !

And as always, comments are encouraged.

Thanks Erik ! @airbum

I appreciate the support throughout this build. I also just finished posting up these last two MiG-15's in the headline section. Along with the articles, here are a few more photos showing the 3 planes together.

I hope that you all have had as much fun participating in this adventure as I have. Plus I have learned an awful lot about the MiG-15 along the way.

I'll post up the links to the articles next.

The final picture of the Chinese PLAAF is shown here.

It's been a fun ride, but like everything in life, all good things must end. I want to sincerely thank each of you for taking time to comment, and offering assistance when it was needed. We did it ! and made 100 posts with this build journal... Take care my friends. I'll end this by saying, "as usual, comments are encouraged".
