Summary
1:32 scale model of a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 commissioned by the Museum and built by Mr R. Ramsay in 1953. As the MiG-15 had only just come to public attention during the Korean War, the Museum was apparently keen to exhibit a model of the then latest advances in jet fighter technology. The jet fighter was developed by Artem Mikoyan & Mikhail Gurevich for the Soviet Union, circa 1948.
Physical Description
Metal model aeroplane painted silver with red stars on wings and tail with air intake at front and jet at rear.
