Thanks: I did not know at all this was the content inside the fuselage (I imagined differently, I was wrong). ;)

Amazing how straightforward the design is.


Nice looking model, and I always love when people incorporate scale people in the builds  :)

Yes indeed - here are some photos of the real thing (well, actually a MiG-17...but close enough):

I've some pics of a Mig 15 UTI (Polish built PZL) we used to look after at Albatross in the late 1980's. I'll have to dig 'em out and scan 'em.

The nice, shiny red tail and different metallic shades on the engine really make this beauty pop!

Adding the mechanics was a nice touch.
