So I thought I would put it to a poll. Here are your choices:
USSR, 1950s
North Korea, 1952

Brickie's Fagot
Well, I may as well start my thread. For this GB, I will be doing the bog-standard Airfix MiG-15. I am undecided as yet as to what scheme I would do it in - I had assumed it would need to be Soviet Silver to go with the theme of the GB but following discussions in the discussions file, I'm not sure any more.

Call me pedantic, but I went for the earliest scheme.

Can't vote in the poll as there are no squares showing. But I like the Hungary scheme.

Re: Brickie's Fagot
I picked one of these up a few weeks ago with the specific intention of the Hungarian scheme although the all silver USSR version looks a lot easier.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Dunno. NMF isn't always an easy thing to get right. It certainly shows up any flaws, seams and filler...

Re: Brickie's Fagot
I voted Hungarian too, I've seen a few too many in the other two options.

Re: Brickie's Fagot
It may be bucking the trend but I like the North Korean scheme & the Mig-15 made a big impact over the skies of Korea.

Re: Brickie's Fagot
Silver gets my vote, all the ones I have seen are painted silver not nmf but that might just be bad restoration work.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.
Re: Brickie's Fagot
I voted for Hungary
A bit off the beaten track so to speak and seing as I'm doing an NMF Sovietski stylie that means theres less competition in my back yard!!
