1/48 Trumpeter Mig-15 bis 

by Gianni Cassi

--------------------

 

" Red 546" was flown by Maj. Galyshevskiy, a WWII veteran Soviet pilot, operating in North Korea from April 1952 to March 1953.  With this plane he downed two B-29's and a F-94B.  The Trumpeter kit is really good, fit is excellent, I did not use putty anyway. I used the Eduard photoetch set 48-417 and the Aires set for the Tamiya kit. The ejection seat dolly is scratchbuilt.

Hope you can enjoy it.
