Cool Equipment bay

The silver version will be modeled with more details. I decided to open up the forward equipment bay ( in front of the cockpit on top ) and add some detail there.

Here is a graphic from the Mig-15 manual showing one configuration.

The Mig-15 that are flying today no longer have these obsolete equipment and therefore were not suitable for my needs. I wanted a real old version. Here is a picture of current bay of a Mig-15UTI ( it happens to be for sale if you want one ).

Here is my rendition.

Cover loosely on ( Note that the cover was attached with six latches and was removed for service. It was not hinged to the fuselage ).
