Gents,
I'm a modeller from Hungary in the middle of Europe. First of all some senteces about me. I am researching the post war middle-eastern conflicts and naturally I frequently target the planes from this area when building modells. Besides this I am interested in the WWII flights and planes of the aces. I'm working in the aviation business, very close to the jets, so I can say my hobby is my job.
About the Mig-15. This tiny beauty was built from the old KP kit, not from the new one with curved panel lines. I have sanded all panelines and rivets which were out of the surface and polished. I used for reference the 4+ Publishing Mig-15 book and its drawings to engrave the panel lines. The cockpititself and the ejection seat is came from the Pavla, as a resin set. For the canopy I used vacuformed one. Landing gears and the gear covers,the pitots are home made pieces.
To paint the model I used the paints from the vallejo model air collection, the decals are HiDecals production.
It required some work hours, mostly for sanding, gap filling and polishing but I think it worthes all the effort.
Enjoy this and judge
Regards, Polo
