| This is
the latest book from Mushroom Model Publications in their Yellow series and covers the Mikojan Gurievitch MiG-15
“Fagot”. It is printed on high quality glossy 9˝” X 6˝” paper with laminated card covers and contains 128
pages. Looking at this book with a modeler’s eye you couldn’t ask for a much better source to use to super detail your Monogram or Trumpeter MiG-15. There are several 1/72nd scale plans and many useful drawings taken from technical manuals. Also, there are 25 pages of color side and plan views, along with dozens of interior and exterior color photos of the real thing. For the detailers out there there are 10 very clear photos of a Lis-2 engine used on the Lim-2 on a stand. You will also find several photos of the armament pack both on the aircraft and in the ‘down’ position… again great for scratch building a gun pack. The book starts out by going through the development breakdown of the different versions, including a 1/72nd drawing of each and a B&W photo with production charts of the different versions produced in the USSR. There is also a chart of the Top ‘Russian’ MiG-15 Aces in the Korean War and finally a comparison chart of the MiG-15 to the Allied aircraft, although I think the top speed listed for the MiG should be 675 mph (1064 kph) and not 575 mph. The MiG-15 book can be obtained for $17.96 from www.squadron.com of from the publishers at www.mmpbooks.biz. Thanks go out to Dr. Roger M. Wallsgrove, Editor-in-Chief Mushroom Model Publications for the review copy. |
