BBC CCCP Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-15 /VVS MiG-15 (бис/bis?) 1/72 Airfix




Airfix new tooling MiG-15, very nice and easy to build. Parts fit is excellent and the assembly guide is very informative, highly recommended. Built out-of-the-box as Soviet Air Force 1950's plane, these flew in Finland (although perhaps not exactly in this guise) for a short time at the Porkkala Soviet military base after the war. The actual Finnish Air Force MiG-15's were twin-seater UTI trainer versions.
