What If "The Father of MiG-15", hand brushed with MM colours.

We do like it indeed And to top it off, a pretty hand-brushed NMF finish, simple but very effective.

The 183' was always in my book, a father of a few planes like the Swedish Tunnan and the Mig. But the Mig's mom was the Uhtkha' canarded pusher that was flying that airfoil for ten years before the other parts like the Nene/Klimov fell into place.
