miragefun Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 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 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djos Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 GREAT WORK and result. I like when those oldies got second chance to stay side by side with new molds. In hands of good modeller....they really can shine again. For sure you achieved that. Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Great job on that MiG-15 – I really like the finish you've achieved. I also like the Egyptian markings form that period. Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Superb work Polo,I remember these old KP kit's from way back not many were ever built to look that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 An outstanding build! I constructed a few KP kits from the old days (La-7 and Avia CS-199) so I know how basic they were. This MiG looks like a state of the art model from Eduard! Brilliant work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
