    Prepainted Diecast Metal Model

    Collectors item: Not suitable for children under 14

    The MiG-15 (NATO name Fagot) was designed from information and technology gathered from captured WWII Germans. The main features of the Mig-15 were its simplicity and swept wings. The MiG-15bis was an improved single-seat fighter with better cannon, fuel capacity, avionics and a Klimov turbojet engine developed using an unlicensed Rolls-Royce Nene engine. All this was put in a strengthened airframe. The Allies were completely surprised when the Mig-15 arrived in Korea and quickly brought about the development of the F-86 Sabre.

    The Mig-15 entered the Korean War in November 1950 flown by Soviet pilots because the North Korean and Chinese were still being trained on this aircraft. It wasn't long into the war when it was felt they had been trained enough and the Soviet pilots were withdrawn. The Mig-15 came as a complete shock to the UN Forces so they hurried the F-86 into production to counter the MiG. There were several Aces on each side with Chinese pilot Wang Hai accumulating 9 kills during the war. Wang Hai went on to become the first PLAAF (People's Liberation Army Air Force) Commander in July 1985 and held the post until November 1992.
