Xmald Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hello, I`ve managed to take pics of the project I`ve been working on for quite some time. I`ve stopped cause I decided to build the new CSM`s kits - F.K.8. The Lim-2 was a Polish Licensed built MiG 15 bis. I always wanted to have a decent looking kit of the Polish Lim 2 sitting on my shelf since I had been looking at one during 8 classes of my primary school (named after the 1st Fighter Regiment "Warszawa" (Warsaw) as you can see in the picture below: Source: http://www.epktspotters.org - For discussion purposes only Unfortunately, it has been repainted some time ago in an inaccurate manner - the tactical number should be red etc. I was also lucky to find a picture of that plane during the time of its service in 38th Fighter Regiment located in Powidz: When it comes to the kit I use the Part set for MiG 15 Bis and Bill Model decals and Alclad paints. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Uncool Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Nice one! Is there any differences between the MiG-15 bis and the MiG-17 shapewise other than the wing tips? Cheers, Unc2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmald Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Yes, the differences are quite prominent. The 17 is bigger than the 15, the nozzle in most cases, the shape of the canopy, the shape of the airbrakes, 1 more fencer on the wing etc. When it comes to the PF or PFU variant the air intake is also different due to Izumrud radar. I`m no expert just some things that come to my mind straight away. There`s 17 (Lim 5M) in my hometown too, but I need to find a way to get closer to it, cause it`s inside a military base set as a monument. I`m planning to build is as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Very nice! Can't have too many Migs (or LIMs). As well you know, I love these things! Bandsaw Steve (ex Reconcilor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
