1:72 Eduard MiG-15UTI Soviet Union


Recommended Posts

The 1:72 Eduard kit of the two seater MiG-15UTI built in Soviet markings. This aircraft was flown by Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Seryogin on March 27 1968.

 

Quite a nice build, although I didn't quite get the intake right, so there was a gap in the intake, so had to make a FOD guard to hide it.

 

Overall Tamiya X-11 Silver.

 

Decals are the kit decals, which posed no issues.

 

Then disaster struck... While in the finishing stages of attaching anetennas etc, I ended up somehow broke the undercarriage, then while trying to fix it, super glue ran all over the wing underside, which meant having to rub it down, respray it and find a replacement decal. Decal came from a leftover decal sheet from a previous Eduard MiG-15 build.
