kotey Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) During decal design for MiG-15 we are have some troubles with Chineese MiG-15 with hieroglyphs on nose. On greyscale photo is real aircraft during war in Korea, colour photo - our days aircraft from museum. It is not a big problem that is a little different writing in 1950s and now, but what is mean this writing? Why at greyscale photo 7 hieroglyphs in lower line, at modern only 6? I'm not clear see how is writing upper right hieroglyph, maybe someone can shiow how it wright? Edited June 16, 2016 by kotey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi hope this help: The top two character means China The seven characters meant people volunteer army air force The six character is missing the word army people volunteer air force Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Thank you - one more question left - i'm not clerar see how is writing of uper right hieroglyph - it wouldn't be desirable to be mistaken in writing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hi Sorry dont understand your question. The upper right picture is the same characters as those on the mid-lower left and the bottom right. Hope I am answering your question correctly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Andrei, I have some closeups of both sides of the MiG-15 - taken at Xiaotangshan. You obviously have good examples of the incorrect script already - but you are welcome to my hi-res photos if you want ? Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niki4703 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Looks written a bit differently than those red items. Still means "China" as our fellow colleague here said, but... . Edited June 17, 2016 by niki4703 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken In case you're interested, the script on the first MiG says 少年先锋号 which means "young pioneer". The word 号 denotes that this is the name of an object. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
