Platz - MiG-15UTI Finnish Air Force
This is a beautifully moulded little jewel of a kit, a reissue ofan Eduard original with new decals. Platz also offer a number of embellishments separately, also by Eduard. These include photo etch interior, exterior and landing flap details, plus a canopy masking set. While the landing flap detail might be nice and the masking set helpful, I felt the base kit was so well detailed that adding these extras, in this scale, would be hard to justify.
The bottom section of the box has the parts for a very strange support frame embossed on it. The construction of the frame is also shown in the instructions, though I have no idea what it is intended for. All the written instructions are in Japanese, which I don’t read. Possibly it is intended to make later work on the model easier, though it seems to me it would interfere with both painting and decalling.
I was sent this kit for review by our illustrious editor, possibly as a rest or reward after a particularly challenging build. His judgment was good - this was delightful to build.
