From 21st Century Toys:
21st Century Toys announces the release of the second paint scheme of our newest addition to the 1:18 Scale Xtreme Detail family. The Chinese Peoples Liberation Army Air Force Mikoyan Gurevich 15bis. This MiG sports a field-applied tiger-striped camouflage scheme used by MiGs of the Peoples Republic of China that flew in "MiG Alley" during the Korean War.
The MiG-15 distinguished itself as one of the premier jet fighters of the 1950s and was flown by the Soviet Union and its Eastern Bloc allies as well as the Peoples Republic of China and North Korea. Armed with one 37mm NL-37D cannon with 40 rounds, and two 23mm NR-23KM cannons with 80 rounds each, this fighter carried significant firepower! This extremely accurate 1:18 scale model is full of the exquisite detail you've come to expect from 21st Century Toys.
About the Mig-15:
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (NATO reporting name "Fagot") was a jet fighter developed for the USSR by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where it outclassed all enemy fighters except the F-86 Sabre. The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17 which would oppose American fighters over Vietnam in 1960s. The MiG-15 is believed to have been the most numerous jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built (and licensed foreign production perhaps raising this to over 18,000).
