I considered the Ye-152 as a potential donor for this build (there's an 1:72 kit around), but it was prohibitively expensive, at least for this task, so that the shaggy PM Su-15 had to suffice.

BTW, were "almost there":

Decals come from the OOB sheet (stencils, even though the Revell sheet is lacking any markings for the canopy) and from an Xtradecal sheet for Lightning F.6s - the odd dayglo orange markings belong to the 11 Squadron aircraft, and they are a nice eye-catcher and break the standard livery up. However, the Xtradecal carrier film turned out to be quite thick and brittle, so that the application of the decals was a bit hazardous. The serial number is fictional/unused, but fits right into the Lightning F.6's production time.

Varnish and some finishing touches (ejection seat, position lights) pending. Nice surprise: the thing even has a proper stance when sitting on its three legs. It's heavy, though, with lots of lead inside, then quite massive plastic and LOTS of putty!

Looking fantastic, Dizzy!

If I remember correctly, the red markings were for an exercise. Looks good too
