A pair of African MiG-15's


Recommended Posts

Here's a couple of MiG-15's I did over on the Africa GB. Very nice kits to put together, I even managed to put the PE in although left a couple of bits off on the undercarriage. I didn't do a great job on the wing joins on the '15bis (the wings were a very tight fit on both kits, took a bit of filing to get right) which looks even worse under the Aluminium paint! I didn't want to spoil the great detail on the surfaces, I have another early MiG-15 to do so will do better next time!

Both using the kit decals, one is an Egyptian '15bis from 1956 in overall Aluminium, the second is an Algerian '15UTI apparently in service from the 60's to the 80's.

I'm no expert on these subjects and they were painted using the instruction call outs. 

Both airbrushed using Vallejo ModelAir then glossed using 'Klear', finished off with Vallejo Matt varnish airbrushed on.

The kit decals worked well with Humbrol Decalfix.

Comments and critique welcome.

 

Davey.
