The MiG-15 was the most-produced jet aircraft ever. Approximately 18,000 were
built and used in many countries all over the world. MiG-15s became famous in the Korean War.
The MiG-15UTI was the twin-seat trainer variant. Not so as the single seater, which was replaced in the late 50`s, the UTI was in use well into the 1980s.

The Hobby Boss kit is one of their well-known ones. There are only a few nice parts with engraved panel lines. The fuselage is split top-bottom. Transparencies are lovely and clear. Therefore the cockpit is fairly basic; I took Wolfpack Resin Seats and the Eduard Interior photo etched parts, which fits "with a little help" also perfect in this Hobby Boss Kit.
The UTI comes with Soviet or Iraqi markings. The kits go together easily, only a bit of putty and sanding was used.
