MiG-15 bis no. 132 N. Sutyagin / Marek repaint /1:72

Testing out the new pack of Wausau Metallics paper (white gold) that I've been discussing here: http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/f...tml#post291753

Figured that this new repaint I've ben working on would be a good test model, as it is supposed to be mostly bare metal. The plane is the MiG-15 bis No. 121032 as flown by Soviet Ace Capt. Nikolay V. Sutyagin, of the 17th IAP, June 1951 - January 1952 in the Korean conflict. It's a simple red-nose, red-tail North Korean Air Force MiG-15, with fuselage number 132 on the nose. I'll be offering the repaint on Ecardmodels.com (in 1:50 scale) once the build is complete.

I've spray sealed the page in a matte sealant (out of gloss), so it lost a little of its luster, but it still is shinier than the copy printed on plain card (metallic on left, plain card on right):



You can see that there is definite relfection on the parts:



As compared to the sprayed normal card which is dead flat:



So let's see how it cuts, folds, and glues up, shall we?
