Mike Esposito Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Hmmm. Since when did the PRC get the Mig 9?
John Thompson Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 25 minutes ago, Mike Esposito said: Hmmm. Since when did the PRC get the Mig 9? Well, according to Wikipedia: "Six divisions of MiG-9s, each with two regiments of 31 aircraft, were transferred to China in November–December 1950 for air defense and training duties. The 17th Guards Fighter Division (GIAD) defended Shenyang, the 20th Fighter Division (IAD) guarded Tangshan, and the 65th IAD protected Guangzhou. The 144th IAD defended Shanghai, the 309th guarded Gongzhuling and the 328th IAD protected Peking. These units later handed their aircraft over to the 6th, 7th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 17th Fighter Divisions of the People's Liberation Army Air Force when their training was complete. The Chinese considered sending their MiG-9s to Korea in 1951 under Soviet pressure, but reconsidered when the PLAAF commanders reported that they believed that it would be better to retrain MiG-9 pilots on MiG-15s." Survivors located in China include: - White 30 at the Chinese Aviation Museum, Datangshan, Beijing, China - Blue 86104 at the Beijing Air and Space Museum at Beihang University in Beijing, China - A fuselage was photographed in 2007 and 2011 stored outdoors in downtown Beijing, China near Beihang University John 2 2

28ZComeback Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 This will be a good seller worldwide. The Mig-9 was a step forward in jet design and the genesis for the Mig-15. There are reports of combat with USAF F-86's in 1954 over Korea--reports of encounters with "straight-winged" Migs later identified as PLAAF Mig-9s. 1
71chally Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Looks another good year for 48th Soviet jets, this will go nicely with the recently announced Lavochkin La-15. 1

Col. Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 Had a look at the Facebook page and on 15th May 2018 they wrote, "...Yes, we delay the production of some kits, because found a lot of additional info about prototypes... MiG-9... redesigned also, but don't worry, all announced projects will be released." So at least they are taking their time to get it correctly rendered and in the meantime I'll just work on my ever-growing stash 3
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Found one in Polish A.F. Markings recently so count me in for at least one. Dennis EDIT: seems i was incorrect it was a Yak-23 i saw. Very similar layout so that was why i mistook it. Edited September 18, 2019 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 1
