ShelbyGT500 2,697 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited December 30, 2018 by ShelbyGT500 Alain Gadbois, Anthony in NZ, KiwiZac and 10 others 13 Link to post Share on other sites
Gerhard 2,657 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 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. ShelbyGT500 1 Link to post Share on other sites
