Here is my built up version of the tiny 1/144 OzMod Mig 15 UTI. The only real giveaway to its scale is the mediocre quality decals.

Hindsight tells me I should of the kit-supplied Polish decals and painted it in the three tone color scheme!

Here's what I did. The cockpit includes the following items:

• Center and side consoles

• Ejection seat foot pads

• Ejection seat guide rails, located at the rear of each seat

• Painted aluminum foil seat belts

• Gun sight

• Rear compartment bulkhead

• Reshaped, painted wire for control sticks

• Opened canopy. Luckily, there was a second canopy to use to avoid the mistake on the first.

Exterior embellishments includes:

• Internal intake splitter

• Burner can

• Scratch built flaps

• Radio antenna made from painted fly tying string.

• Painted with Polly S tan and Polly Scale sand, light blue, and clear flat.

• Decals were shanghaied from Hobby Craft 1/144 Su-25
