MIG-15 bis Fagot-B

Another build curently on my bench is Trumpeter MIG-15 bis in 1/48 scale, a great kit with lots of detail.
I am also using a photoetched detail set from eduard.

Here are some photos of the work in progress.

















Here is what the finished model will look like.



Hope you like. Will keep you posted.

Nice choice Cyril! Is it going to be finished in Aluminium or Camo?

Hello Cyril,

Prosit man, good choice. I have the 1:32nd scale and half way through. My set is Eduard as well and full of details. In all, I have four sets, cockpit details, interior details and two sets of exterior details. Once I started off with s project of building all the types of aircraft involved in the 1973 Israeli/Arab Yom Kippur War. Eventually I have all the aircraft required - some 56 types in all including helicopters; but all the modelling is at halt, until the Scharnhorst is ready for sailing.

This is nice Cyril , what a remarkable airplane...............

Nice built Cyril but are you going for an aluminium aircraft there asre so many beautiful schemes ... but if you opt for an aluminium bird why not a Korean War ace?

I don't think so ..whilst arrived in China and Korea they changed markings ..but of course .. some Russian pilots stayed ..fighting.......





Two 196th IAP tragic aces. Above: Kapetan Boris Abakumov, which claimed six victories in Korea, but was shot down and injured. Abakumov had written one of the first books about the Soviet units in the Korean skies, titled "The Unknown War".Bellow Starshij Lejtenant Fiodor Shebanov was credited with five Sabres and one B-29, but was in turn shot down and killed probably by Claude Mitson on 26th October 1951.

What I had in mind is the Chinese Peoples' Volunteer Air Force, exactly the same one you sent on one of the sites.



But the antenna is shown in the wrong position, it should be as in the photo below.
It should end on the side below the canopy.

Yes Cyril go for it ..interesting scheme and subject, I will look foward to find you some photos of the real aircraft ....

Cyril check this info well... because they didn't had top wings markings..

Marco, I have some photos of Chinese Mig 15 which as you say have no top wing markings. This I did not know.
This photo of 2249 has markings on its top wings, how come?

because if you read the article I send you , They say that these markings were after the war for museum exhi....

OK Marco, I understand.

If you should come across a photo of 2249 from underneath please send it to me.

Thanks

great choice cyril.
bare aluminium will be just about perfect for a plane like that.
about markings on wings... hmmm... will see in my references if i can dig out something.

Thank you Stevan.

Marco said that during combat, they only wore markings on the underside of wings and rear fusulage sides.

Here are some photos of the ejector seat,

Most of it is photo etch.











I have just finished giving the model a coat of gloss black paint, as a base coat for the alclad.

Fingers crossed for the next step.
