HISTORY ASPECTS:
The MiG-15bis, with tail number Red 1998, was a prominent fighter aircraft flown by Major Ivanovich Mikhin of the 518th Fighter Aviation Regiment (IAP) during the Korean War in May 1953. The MiG-15 was a revolutionary jet fighter for its time, known for its excellent speed, maneuverability, and ability to compete with the U.S. F-86 Sabre in dogfights. The 518th IAP was an integral part of the Soviet Air Force's support for North Korean forces, actively engaging in air combat and providing air cover for ground troops throughout the conflict.
During the Korean War, the MiG-15 was involved in several key engagements, including the intense aerial battles over the Yalu River and the contested skies over North Korea. Major Mikhin, a skilled pilot with a proven track record, flew missions that often involved intercepting enemy bombers and protecting North Korean ground forces. The MiG-15s, including Red 1998, became known for their effective use in both air-to-air combat and ground attack roles. The high-stakes environment of the Korean War allowed for fierce dogfights, and the 518th IAP distinguished itself in these encounters, achieving notable success against Allied forces.
By May 1953, the war was reaching its final phases, with both sides looking for a resolution to the conflict. However, aerial combat remained intense, and the MiG-15 continued to play a crucial role in asserting North Korean airpower. Major Mikhin’s experience and leadership were vital to the unit's success, and Red 1998 became symbolic of the determined defense of North Korean airspace during this turbulent period. The aircraft, with its distinctive red markings and sleek design, not only represented the might of the Soviet-built fighters but also the fierce resolve of the pilots who flew them in defense of their homeland.
This 1:72 scale model captures the striking appearance and historical significance of Major Ivanovich Mikhin's aircraft. A must-have for aviation enthusiasts and collectors, this replica beautifully represents the engineering marvel of the MiG-15 and its pivotal role in the Korean War. Display it proudly to honor the bravery of those who served in the skies during one of the most intense air conflicts in history.
