MIG-15 Bis BG Air Force Trumpeter 1/32

[ShelbyGT500]

Hi guys

It is time for the new project at the right scale

The model is MIG-15 BIS by trumpeter at 1/32 scale, BUT in the box is anything else but not MIG-15

So we must to re-work almost all of the parts - with a lot of scratch and aftermarket photo-etched from PART,

so lets start and see how far this project will go:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers my friends and Happy New Year

When I decided to get back into the hobby, I built their Mig 17 Bis. It ended in the trash. Good luck on this build.

A lot of spare and Part photo-etched parts, alumunium foil and scratch:

Hi friends small update, but a lot of work - remove the engine-oil covers and start to detailing the air-brakes bays with etched parts:

 

 

 

 

Cheers guys

Wow, excellent work on a NOT so excellent kit. Looking forward to more

[Gazzas]

Wow, I love the wires and etch!  I see that you have used foil on some of the smaller pieces like the windscreen.  I love foiled models!

Thanks friends

Well Gaz, all parts of the plane will be foiled, that is the main idea

Hi guys

Continue with detailing - add the antenna of the radio-compass at lower back part of the fuselage:

 

Add wires and tubes at connection point of fuselage with wings:

 

 

 

Wires and tubes at gear-bays:

 

 

 

 

Scratch some covers for engine-oil openings:

 

 

 

Start to detailing the landing gears and wheels:

 

 

 

Cheers guys

Love the wires with connectors in the wings...  That's above and beyond the call!

 

Great stuff!

holy mackerel, nice work!

[Gene]

Wow - great detailing!  I know how sparse the the detail is on the original kit (kinda like an old Revell kit, but the price is good).  Thanks for posting!

[TimW]

Wow!  

 

That is the ultimate MiG-15.   Very nice details!

Hi friends and thanks for all kind words of yours

Now continue with detailing of wing surface , flaps and elerons with some etched and aluminium parts:

 

 

 

 

The main gear-covers from the kit were so wrong so I build the new once from Part set+polistirol:

 

 

 

And wait a minute - WHAT, there is NO gun in the kit??????

So with a lot of scratch + Master barrels + etched parts - get ready for the "Triple Cannon":

 

 

 

 

Cheers guys
