Hobby 2000 48005 MiG-15 / Lim-1 1/48 – Plastic Model Aircraft Kit

The Hobby 2000 48005 MiG-15 / Lim-1 in 1/48 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit, perfect for aviation enthusiasts and modelers who appreciate historical detail recreation. This set is based on the famous Soviet MiG-15 fighter jet and its licensed Polish version, the Lim-1, giving modelers the opportunity to build a miniature of one of the most important aircrafts of the Cold War era.

The MiG-15 is a fighter aircraft designed by the Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau, which entered service with the USSR Air Force in the late 1940s. It was renowned for its high performance and excellent flying qualities, achieving its greatest successes during the Korean War (1950-1953), where it competed effectively with American fighters. The Lim-1 version was a Polish variant of the MiG-15, produced at WSK Mielec from 1952 under Soviet license, and it became part of the Polish Air Force as well as other Warsaw Pact countries during the Cold War period.
