This grubby specimen was part of the Partizan 'plane purchase. The original builder of this ancient Airfix MiG-15 had left it largely in the silvery-grey plastic.
Given that the original Soviet decals had almost entirely flaked away and the general grubbiness and down at heel appearance of the kit I decided to pass it on to one of the WARPACT allies.
A set of East German decals was duly sourced from the decal box and it was ready for action again!

I'm shocked Tim that this is how you have chosen to commemorate the passing of our fallen comrade Fidel. I would have thought a three plane flypast at the very least.
If you come across any more I would helpfully point them in the direction of the RAF, current government policy seems to be to run the navy with no ships and the RAF with no 'planes. It's a worry in these peaceful times.

It was a three 'plane flypast. The others broke...

I don't think even the 21st Century RAF is that hard up!
