Originally started as part of a jet group build. At the time, I was just starting to delve into the aftermarket realm and I think the sheer amount of goodies that I added was too overwhelming to deal with at the time. The group build ended without me finishing the kit and it was boxed up and put on a shelf. After 2 months, I dug the kit out and started working on it again. I was able get the major components together and even completed the tedious seam work. But I ran out of steam AGAIN after the camo didn't come out as I had envisioned. The painted airframe was placed in a plastic bag where it would be protected from dust and I could see the poor MiG in a bag every time I entered my little workshop in the garage. Ten months later, I finally worked up enough motivation to drag this thing across the finish line.
It's not a great build by any means and there lots of flaws and little broken parts here and there that I didn't bother to replace. But I am proud that I finally finished it.
The MiG-15 was built in 2016 and remains the only 1/72 build I've ever done. But who knows right?
