All things considered I'd join the queue for a good 1/48 MiG-15. For such an iconic aircraft it's been treated badly by the kit producers. I think a Hind would be good for the same reasons, especially after watching them in the opening sequence of the Russian Afghanistan film Company 19(?)

What is wrong with tamiya's Mig-15bis?

Or with trumpeter?

 

If that had any value, I would ask for a kit that has not been released so far.

Otherwise...

...how about one more Mustang?

angle  of wing sweep is wrong.

angle of vertical tail is wrong, and is rated as being "fiddly" to build.  There is a resin tailplane,  but it's just the tail, rather than a  new rear fuselage, see. 

 

whole thread discusses 1/48th MiG -15's.

FWIW the Trumpy tail does not  scream WRONG at you,  but fixing it would tricky.

 

HTH

IIRC the Tamiya kit has the leading edge angle wrong on the fin and tailplane as well.

In 1/48 ?  You might be confusing it with their secret 1/24 kit... :D

 

(... but I'd love to see a 1/144 Mriya ! )

Well, if I have to select amongst a totally new kit in 1/48 and something that already exists, but requires some modeling skills to build, then I prefer the totally new one.

There is no perfect model. At least not until Airfix uses their new shrinking-the-real-thing-3D-laser technology!

Even then... Just risk a view on the Phantom thread here in the Rumormonger... Keyword "Vents".

 

Depends on how bad the existing kit is. A new Hind would be nice. As a start for an entire family...

Or an early Sabre with seperate slats. Or a real surprise - a Vostok :thumbsup:
