Wolfpack Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 This is my take on Hobby Boss's 1/32 kit and it's a real gem. A couple of fit issues at the wing tips and the weight that's mean to fit under the ammo cans, but that's it.Finished as the C.O's bird of the 522nd FES during their stint in Korea 1950 - 51. The C.O. Col. William Bertram shot down the first MiG 15 of the conflict.Orange markings painted on and the buzz number is from the kit sheets and a generic 1/32 numbers sheet. NMF courtesy Rub'N Buff as always. Canopy frames sanded away too. W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSAR95 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Awesome work. The metal looks really well used and left to its own. I can see this plane sitting in parking just waiting to take to the skies again. Great stuff, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VG 33 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Very nice kit. I was tempted to make the one from Lt Kratt 523rd FES when I saw the profile in Wings of fame #2. When you say the first MiG-15 of the conflict you say for this unit on January 21, 1951because if I remember well the first MiG-15 kill was from 1st Lt Brown in a 16th FIS F-80 on November 08, 1950. Tell me if I am wrong. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Cracking model, super finish too. Definitely more than an air of realism about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 It was probably the first MiG 15 kill by an F-84, 21.01.51. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
