Popular Post supersonic Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Fellow Modelers, i always found that the early Russian Jet design looks kind of sexy, the revolutionary MIG-15 Design of Mr. Gurewitsch is no exception. So no wonder that my first post WW2 build is one, i was a bit unsure which markings it should have till i saw that Czech MIG with that eye-catching camouflage. As always no decals were used, but the fuselage numbers, which in this case was pretty time consuming as one can imagine..... With respect to the great design of the MIG-15 my first idea was to built it with the fuselage closed not to detract from the great MIG line but than i started to scratch many parts for the Klimow engine & weapon bay and i decided to show both areas displayed.

Tim R-T-C Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Simply superb work, that weathering is very convincing for a hard worked but still active service machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Fantastic work, especially on the engine and gun housings. I would really like to do a similar project in 1/72. I dont think there are the aftermarket bits and pieces to help me out🤔 Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 @Pete in a shed Thanks mate for your kind comment, concerning the 1:72 scale MIG-15, check Scalemates.com you'll find tons of after market bits for the excellent Eduard kits even more than in 1:48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Beautiful work – perhaps the most convincing MiG-15 I've (yet) seen in model form. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersonic Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 @28ZComeback Thanks Mate, for the wings & fuselage i've mostly used Alclad Aluminium & Dark Aluminium and as an underlying coat at some spots Airframe Aluminium For the fuselage engine area behind the canopy i used Alclad Dull Aluminium which is more a greyish tone and for the hatches & accents Magnesium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty84 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Wow, great detailing and weathering 👍 A very catchy 'camouflage', were these some exercise or display team markings? Cheers Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hallo, I would say 100 from 100 points! First I like this eyecatching colour sceme. Blue and silver looks always nice. The weathering is really perfect. The engine is spot on! And all in all your presentation and photography is wonderful! Are the decal for this version in the kit? Cheers Andy.

supersonic Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 @Shorty84 Hallo Markus, thanks for your compliments, these markings were indeed exclusively part of the ''Acrobatic Team'' which took part in the 2nd Cultural and sport Celebration in Cottbus Germany ( DDR) in 1957 Cheers Hans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 @Andy Dyck Thanks Andy for your splendid comment, the only Decals i've used here were the fuselage numbers which came from a Tally Ho sheet, everything else is painted Cheers Hans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
