MiG-15bis, flown by Henry Perez, Cuba, 1960s

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (Russian: Микоян-Гуревич МиГ-15) is a jet fighter aircraft developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich for the Soviet Union. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. In aerial combat during the Korean War, it outclassed straight-winged jet day fighters, which were largely relegated to ground-attack roles. In response to the MiG-15's appearance and in order to counter it, the United States Air Force rushed the North American F-86 Sabre to Korea.

It came out great! It sent me down a rabbit hole about early Cuban Migs.

Thanks Frank.

It wasn't too hard to build.  Being their own resin the cockpit didn't put up too much of a struggle unlike some i've tried to use on the past.
