MMM 2020 - 1/72 MiG-15

[helios]

Somewhere amidst this bag of parts therein lies a MiG-15.....or 3. I got these kits from Saul a couple years back, and have been hanging onto them for this campaign. Not sure if I'll assembly line all 3, or just work through 1 yet. Need to decide by the end of this weekend though as I do need to track down some pilots since these will be built wheels up and mounted on a base.

Happy modeling.

me 2 I was just thinking of doing an Airfix Mig 15 in Polish for this myself.

Sprayed all 3 cockpits, but decided to only build the 1 for now. No need getting ahead of myself with my track record. :pinch: Cleaned up and assembled the wings. Ended up robbing a pilot out of my 1/72 PR Meteor. Good enough for this project. Ended up making a booster seat for the pilot, as the seats sit right on the floor, and the headrest was way to tall for the pilot. Lines up a lot better now.

Hi Chris

Good choice, I love the MiG-15

Is it supposed to be a Lim Mig? As far as I know (and I certainly may be wrong) the Cockpits were in light gull gray and not in the turquoise blue...

Looking Forward to your Progress

This one is being built as a Russian supplied MiG, rather than a homebuilt version. And yeah, it looked as though most of the cockpits of the 15s I saw were grey...but decided to use this as an excuse to finally use this color. :laugh: Besides, there will be plenty of greyish colors on this as it's a BMF, typical of most early MiGs.

I may change it, or may not. We'll see.

Thanks for the Explanation Chris. I have a Mig-15 UTI on the stash and wanted to check before making mistakes.

I can never get the BMF right so I will follow you closely on this one. Good luck.

Mig 15s are neat little birds. Watching with interest.

Cool choice Chris.

I'll hopefully have something picture worthy for you guys in a couple days. Should be getting close to getting the cockpit finished up and fuselage halves together.

We have a whole new playground to play in.

You have to look under the media tab...if you haven't already

Despite being busy with this and that this weekend, I did get further. Fuselage is together. Maybe paint tomorrow???

Very smooth assembly Chris.

I love the MiG-15. Looking Forward to your completion
