The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 first went into service in 1949. It was created by the USSR in 1947 and was given to the Korean People's army Air Force in 1950. It was used in the Korean War on the side of North Korea. Although it was used by North Korea, Soviet Pilots flew these beasts and regularly engaged in dogfights with the American F-86 Sabre, the MiG-15's counterpart. Overall, the MiG-15 was one of the best jet fighters of the 1950's, and was later developed into some of the most dangerous jets of the following decades.

Wings should be further back and with less of an angle, with a straight junction between them and the fuse. Tail is pretty close, but don't be afraid to 'hide' the engine (and any other part) inside something like a backwards inlet, and double the inlets up so you can get that 'lip' that the tail sits on.
Take a look around at the top-rated planes to figure out how people did their better designs, then take a look at the blueprints, and see about re-making this because you have plenty of promise!
