The parts do not fit well, especially the engine fitting into the fuselage, the wing top and bottom halves, and the front and rear fuselage. The most infuriating bit is that the fuselage is molded in 4 pieces, which causes a lot of fit problems. This is also extremely tail heavy, so you have to weigh the front down. While the end product resembles a Mig-15, the build process was slightly frustrating. At 1/48 scale, this is also pretty small when it is complete. If you want to tackle this, get your putty and sandpaper out.

THIS WAS A FAIRLY SIMPLE KIT THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS FITTING THE ENGINE PROPERLY WITHIN. SOME SANDING WILL BE NEEDED TO ALIGN THE INDIVDUAL PARTS. THE DECALS WERE STURDY & WENT ON QUICKLY. I BOUGHT THIS KIT TO GO ALONG IN A DOGFIGHT W/ITS ADVERSARY DURING THE KOREAN WAR ; THE F-86F SABRE ! THEY LOOK GREAT TOGTHER & I'M HAPPY W/THE RESULTS ! VAL

This kit had some real fit issues. It needed a lot of sanding too. In the end, it did not look bad, but it is the only 1./48 scale MiG-15 out there.
