Gang,
I'm building a 1/72 MiG-15 using the KP kit (yeah, yeah -- I know) and Modela decals for a sand-over-light-blue camo USSR aircraft "White
317."I can't read Czech, so I don't know what the instructions say about this particular aircraft. I gather it was in the "Far East" circa
1953. Can any MiG experts in the group flesh out the description???Spasibo bol'shoy,

Must have 20 KP Migs kits, quite nice, post some pics when you have to the binary site
Rats, I thought I had the production cornered! I was going to check my 15s and see if any of the kits had English instructions but I suspect Les is asking about the instructions with the decals which I don't have.

I have some of the new boxed kits, larger flimsy boxes but good decals, but i thought he was on about the aftermarket sheet, couldnt help there.
Have the 17 and 19's too in large #'s oh Mig21's too.
I did 'actually' build one a nice Mig15, scratchbuilt ladder but a large reptile demolished it. I really want to build another as got metal, etch and vac canopy ready, never seen the italiari kit, heard it had errors tho.
I got one built so far, a MiG-15UTI, in Polish markings of course. Years ago I converted one of Hasegawa's -17s to a LIM-6 (IIRC). Had to add drag chute fairing and additional underwing pylons. Believe I used an Airfix -15 nose. Have multiples of 17s, 19s, 21s, 23s, and converted a 23 & 27 into a
23BN.Bill Banaszak, MFE
Funny that this MiG-15 is my first Russian military aircraft, since I'm kind of an enthusiast. I, too, have the KP MiG-17PF and MiG-21MF, as well as many other single and multi-engine types in 1/72 or 1/144.

Yes got them too, after this thread started the other night i went thru my collection at 5am, checked all my SU22's, the hobbycraft are poor, way basic panel lives etc, got a newish issue, Iraqi on the box, looked good, then i found no canopy, maybe use one off the HC kit.
I have most of the Hidecal decals, never used any but look great, and many other sheets too, i got some vac canopies from Aeroclub a few years back for the Migs, should be agreat help esp if i use my etch sets.
