LSK MiG-15 Airfix 1/72 repaint & re-decaling

Ok, this isn't actually a new build but an old model restoration and re-decaling project. The original Soviet Air Force version had some damage with the landing gear and I decided to fix it into flying position. While I was at it, I re-painted the whole model again and applied the East German Air Force (Luftstreitkräfte der Nationalen Volksarmee) markings from a Revell MiG-21 F-13 kit decal sheet leftovers. Have to say I prefer this configuration, it wasn't too bad to start with but now it's got more character, I think. The original plane may have been a 'bis'-version, but same can be said of this Airfix model, too.
