Full Video Build [with base] - ZVEZDA MiG-15 - 1/72 Scale Plane Model.
Yet another inexpensive kit has made it’s way on the workspace. Not much to say about the kit itself. It’s a simple kit but a bit hard to build. I can confirm the Eduard one is better. In this video i’m also doing my best to provide a base for this model. I was trying to represent a scene with an abandoned aircraft, neglected in a corner of the airfield, surrounded by discarded objects, as many of these old Migs seem to be. I used some parts from the spares box: drop tanks for the plane and a ladder and some wheel chocks for the base.
I hope you like it.
