I started gain a couple of days ago and boy this kit has a temper! "Bring out your dead, bring out your dead" Looking good...It's not dead yet!

Dragon Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Nice work Paul. Yes it does, more than I could handle. Good to see you got the fuselage halves together. I'm looking forward to the rest of this build. I may have missed it in your previous posts, but have you determine what scheme you'll be doing? Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planning on building the plane flown by Honcho pilot Maj. I.P.Galyshevsky in 1952. Kais, blackbetty, coogrfan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Nice paint scheme! I like the way the kit was designed with the core holding the cockpit and representing the ducting to the engine. Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope to have enough patience left to build it decently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Also the camouflage of the 546 was more of a natural metal colour mottled over. Out2gtcha and Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Also it was common for Korean Migs not to use white under the national insignia source Dany Boy and Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that the hph kit does not have the landing light at the intake splitter. I need to figure out what to do.

Padubon Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 I have been doing some research about the nose landing light and one for every ten pictures I have found, do not have the light in the splitter. Assuming the it is accurate, I am going to build one of the options from the box, the one flown in Korea by a Honcho. It really sucks because I seriously don’t want a natural metal bird.

All is not lost. According to the Squadron/Signal Walk around No. 40, "Walk Around MiG-15 Fagot," the "MiG-15bis Fagot-B (late) differed from early Fagot-Bs in having a revised antenna cable leading from the tail directly into the starboard fuselage. The NS-23 KM cannon was replaced by the NR-23 with short fairings and blistered shell ejection ports. The two-piece gun blast panel was replaced by a one-piece panel. The landing light was relocated from the air-intake splitter into the starboard side wing, and one-piece speed brakes replaced the two-piece speed brakes of previous models." (p.11) Assuming your model has all the above attributes, it's a late bis, and I found a couple of examples that are not natural metal. One is MiG-15bis Fagot-B "Red 684", serial number 2684, of the 101st Reconnaisance Wing of the Hungarian AF, early 1970s, in an attractive sand, green and brown topsides over light blue bottom sides, found on p. 77. Hungarian stars may be a challenge, though. In the 4+ publications book "Mig-15, All Variants," p. 32, a MiG-15bis Fagot B, "Red 16", of the 913th IAP in Korea, Summer of 1953, is shown. It has the Korean stars on white background, and a light brown (~FS 30257)/dark green (~FS 34128) camouflage pattern with a light blue (~FS 35448) underside. I don't know for certain if these were late -Bs, but I can't see anyone else having definitive proof they weren't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
