Flaky Fagot fettling - MiG-15 recovery part 3

 

Here is the finished MiG. In the end I opted for Chinese markings. I’d hoped to find North Korean decals but I have none in stock, and a set of North Vietnamese markings is earmarked for a newer model (in every sense) of MiG. A useful addition to my accumulation of aircraft.

Very nice reclamation Tim! The Chinese markings look great!

Looks good. Always nice to see decent 'repairs' on old kits.

Tim, have you ever thought about making an inventory of your air collection? I think it would make an interesting post. It would also clarify your gaming potentials, and particular gaps that you would like to sort out. Anyhow, I always enjoy viewing other people's 'restorations', and their field days.
Regards,
Michael

Thanks - they have to be really bad to be beyond salvation.

An inventory is a good idea - what puts me off is time and fear of the result!
