Capt. Mikhail Mikhin - MiG 15 **DONE**

[ij001]

Overtaking Col. Tice's P-47 for this campaign, another Tamiya kit, this time their superb wee MiG 15bis.

This will be in the late-war three tone camo used by the Soviet 'volunteers' in the 518th IAP based at Tatung-kao. The pilot is the only ace from that unit, Capt. Mikhail Mikhin.

Thanks all... hopefully I can get a start later this week. Once the pit is done the build will be relatively easy. Won't be showing the engine or splitting the fuselage on this one.

Haven't used all the Eduard etch, just the ones that are most prominent.

Will try to get the IP completed tomorrow which should be do-able as I have the day off work.

Hope to get the fuselage quarters together tomorrow.
