MiGo-15egg (finished page 2)

[Tophe]

Today I have ordered at last the MiG-15 egg-plane kit of Hasegawa, many months after checking prices of it: an advertisement from China's AliExpress proposed it even half the price so okay now.
    My project is a low wing glider plane with flat bottom of fuselage:

The famous MiG-15 entered service in 1949, according to Wikipedia, and I reveal here that the MiGo-15egg came just after, in 1951.

Uh, yes I use to draw egg planes, cartoon planes, but I thank Hasegawa having turned such dreams as true objects!

Sawing has started then the saw went in a wrong direction and I have to finish the cutting differently:

I was glad the port half was finished cutting:
