North Korean MiG 15

Has anyone seen a paper model of a MiG 15 in North Korean markings?
The one pictured in the museum is the one flown by a North Korean defector to South Korea and tested by the US.

I don't know where to find one, but I may be inclined to do a repaint, if you can find any other MiG-15 version.

Could always repaint the FG one.

There are two models in booklet form, one from Tri Krapki and the other one from Fly Model, which comes in a double pack together with the F-86.

Please find attached the sheets of the Fly variant (which is printed on A3 sheets, 420x297mm), the one from Tri Krapki is presented in the next post:

And here the sheets of the Tri Krapki variant, which is printed on A4 sheets. This version is much simpler than the one from Fly, but from my point of view the more attractive one.

Those are great finds!
Thank you.

I, too thought a FG repaint would be great. FG offers the one the defector flew to South Korea and gave over to the US, but it is in USAF markings. A MiG 15 with NKorean markings would be a good compliment to FG's F-86.

Marek also made a mig 15 that is easily repainted. The Fly model is overcomplicated but very detailed. The landing gear as designed is a little flimsy and needs superglued and supported. I bet you could step on it and not crush it. The Trikapi looks much simpler but I haven't built that one. I once grafted the fly cockpit on a MArek mig in those defector colours came out great, gave it to the kids.
