	MIG-15bis of the Chinese People's Volunteer Air Force, North Korea 1953. This aircraft was flown by ace pilot Wang Hai. LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 1,000 PIECES WORLDWIDE, COMPLETE WITH UNIQUELY NUMBERED CARD. Now extremely hard to find. An outstanding little model, complete with sliding canopy, drop tanks, pilot figure, optional undercarriage and flap positions and a display stand. The Mig-15 entered the Korean War in November 1950 first flown by Soviet pilots and eventually by North Korean and Chinese pilots. The aircraft came as a complete shock to UN Forces, so they hurried the F-86 into production to counter the MiG. There were several Aces on each side with Chinese pilot Wang Hai accumulating 9 victories during the war. Wang Hai went on to become the first PLAAF (People’s Liberation Army Air Force) Commander in July 1985 and held the post until November 1992. The MiG-15 (NATO name Fagot) was designed from information and technology gathered from captured WWII Germans. The main features of the Mig-15 were its simplicity and swept wings. The MiG-15bis was an improved single-seat fighter with better cannon, fuel capacity, avionics and a Klimov turbojet engine developed using an unlicensed Rolls-Royce Nene engine. All this was put in a strengthened airframe.
