Thanks Carlos, yes, the interior is red/orange. But if already from factory or if Finns painted it afterwards I don’t really know.

I'm not surprised you Finn's had IL-28s Kari - you guys have flown everything! :grin: Great camera installation though!
:-) but the camera installations are 100% western !

Guessed as much - I didn't see any Zenits in there :lol:

No Spitfire work this lunch-time as I worked on getting the Mig-15 together instead. Alas I couldn't close the fuselage as I'd realised I'd left the IP at home :headslap: No matter, as I need to do a bit more work in the tub.

I did however assemble the cockpit, clean up all the parts, attach the tail and get the nose weight in place.

That Liquid Gravity is good stuff.

Hopefully tonight I'll get it all closed up.

Cheers!

Yes - I have a few of their Russian colours, and they're not bad paints. This probably isn't strictly correct for a Mig-15, it should probably be black, but I thought sod it - it looks good.

You know for the Mig-15 UTI I'm wondering about getting the Eduard kit. :hmm: A little bit more cockpit detail would be nice.

That cockpit color always throws me for a loop. Wonder why they went with that. . . .love the rock garden behind it.

Eduards Mig-15 UTI is a wonderful kit, amazing to be honest!
