MIG 15 QUESTION

[NARSES2]

The Hobby Boss Mig 15 kit has two clear plastic inserts for the underside of the rear fuselage. One circular and one rectangular.

Does anyone know what they are ? I've had a look at the references I have and can't find anything absolute, and drawings I've found on the web are no use either.

Wondering if they were inspection panels or possibly one was the landing light ?

Any help appreciated as it's holding up a project

Sorry, I looked this up after Milton Keynes and then forgot to tell you the answer 

The transparent parts are covers for various antennae. The clear circular part covers the ARK-5 radio compass antenna and the rectangular one covers the MRP-48P receiver.

The landing light on the kit is the small oval panel at the top of the intake splitter. Later Mig-15BIS's had the landing light moved to the wing.

Thanks Gordon.

Geoff you saved me a boo-boo. I thought the oval engraving on the splitter plare was a radar gun sight ranger, even though there was no mention of such in my Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft

I don't think they had radar ranging until he Mig-17F IIRC.
