Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 was a jet fighter aircraft developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich for the Soviet Union. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. In combat over Korea, it outclassed straight-winged jet day fighters, which were largely relegated to ground-attack roles, and was quickly countered by the similar American swept-wing North American F-86 Sabre. The MiG-15 is often mentioned, along with the F-86 Sabre, as the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War.


This is my second attempt at building a replica. It is unarmed for now. I will upload an armed version soon. It has fairly accurate top speed of 677 mph.

NOTICE:- Landing is extremely difficult. It flips over 99.9% of the time.

Hope you guys enjoy it.
