The Master AM-48-089 MiG-15 & MiG-15bis set is a high-quality modeling accessory dedicated to MiG-15 and MiG-15bis aircraft in 1:48 scale. The product is intended for accurate recreation of armament and exterior equipment details: it includes brass-turned gun barrels, an antenna base, and a precisely manufactured Pitot tube. The set also contains special static dischargers, also made of durable brass, which are characteristic elements of these Soviet machines.

Historical Information & Application

The MiG-15 and its upgraded version, the MiG-15bis, are undoubtedly among the most recognizable jet aircraft of the Cold War era. These Soviet-designed planes were widely used by the USSR, China, North Korea, and Eastern Bloc countries from the 1950s to the 1970s. Their combat debut occurred during the Korean War (1950–1953), where the MiG-15 faced off in air duels against the American F-86 Sabre. Thanks to its effective armament and innovative aerodynamic solutions, this aircraft was for many years the backbone of the air forces in Soviet-allied countries.
