Soviet Ta-183? Is that not a Sovietized F-86? Or is it in fact a MiG-15 (Gasp!!!!)?

Looking forwards to something that is just natural

Well this thing just fell together (main assembely was only 12 parts) I wanted to get some pics but I need to get some batteries for the camera first DoH!!! I'm planning to get some today.
I did what I could to add something to the interior as the kit has no instrument panel,and I added a headrest/armor plate assembely left over from a Hasegawa Fw 190.There is no detail in the landing gear recesses and they are very shallow,so I just painted them black to give illusion of depth.I haven't decided on a paintjob as yet I dont know wether to go with the black & green sported by some Yak fighters or the 3 tone grey scheme as seen on La-5/7's.Or come up with something of my own.Anyway I should have some pics by tonight

Enjoy

Ok the first shots of the paintjob and basic decals,I have some patriotic slogans and some stencils to go on before weathering Then I will add the landing gear and maybe a base for it to sit on.I decided to go with the La-5FN paint job I feel it looks good on it
Now for the pics
