Hobby Master 1/72 MIG-15bis Red 35, Chinese People's Volunteers AF, 1950s Diecast Model Aircraft

The MiG-15 (NATO name Fagot) was designed from information and technology gathered from captured WWII Germans.

The main features of the Mig-15 were its simplicity and swept wings.

The MiG-15bis was an improved single-seat fighter with better cannon, fuel capacity, avionics and a Klimov turbojet engine developed using an unlicensed Rolls-Royce Nene engine.

All this was put in a strengthened airframe.

The Allies were completely surprised when the Mig-15 arrived in Korea and quickly brought about the development of the F-86 Sabre.
