MiG-15bis Huge 1/18 Display Model "Red 9," FAG-2, East Germany, 1953

Description

One of the first jet fighters to successfully incorporate the swept-wing design, the Soviet MiG-15 was first seen over the skies in Korea in the early 1950s. Along with the F-86 Sabre, the aircraft is considered one of the most successful fighters of the Korean War - possibly of all time. It served incredibly, with more than forty different operators, and is still in service as a trainer in some nations after more than 65 years. This 1/18 scale display replica of the famous warbird - an immediate showcase centerpiece, measuring an impressive two feet long! - features recessed panel lines, a sliding canopy, a well-equipped cockpit including a pilot figure, a detailed Klimov VK-1 turbojet, realistic cannons, intricate landing gear, authentic German markings from 1952, and a display stand. Measures approximately 24" long with a 22" wingspan.
