EZ MiG-15bis Fagot

I really wanted to give this model 5 stars but it's so tail heavy that it required several fishing weights to keep the model's nose down. Other than that it's a great model to start developing your skills with. The price is right and the model fits together really well. It required very little filler or sanding. It's not overly fiddly and it has just the right amount of decals. With some primer and a couple of paints it turns into a very nice piece. It'll look great on any bookshelf. I would however recommend a good detail brush for the canopy.

This model like most hobby boss planes are easy to build. There are few parts and they fit well there is not a lot of detale. The cockpit has a seat and stick and that it also the cockpit glass is in the closed setting. With a little work the landing gear can be show up or down. The decals are for two planes and must be use with care. But a easy build for all.

So far I built the kit in Russian markings (photos previously posted). I recently built it in Chinese markings (photos posted along with this review) and I intend to also build it in North Korean markings (decals from another brand of kit). This is a quality kit at a value price. There is a good level of detail in the cockpit (and you can add more with a little paint and imagination); the gun barrels are molded separately and have to be installed separately (a little tedious but worth it), sharp engraved panel lines, excellent surface detail and choice of drop tanks round out a very fine model and fun build.
