Hobby Master 1/72 Egyptian Air Force MiG-15bis Sinai Oct 1956 (HA2408)


MIG-15bis Egyptian Air Force, Sinai, Oct 1956
The MiG-15 (NATO name Fagot) was designed from information and technology gathered from captured WWII Germans. The main features of the Mig-15 were its simplicity and swept wings. The MiG-15bis was an improved single-seat fighter with better cannon, fuel capacity, avionics and a Klimov turbojet engine developed using an unlicensed Rolls-Royce Nene engine. All this was put in a strengthened airframe. The Allies were completely surprised when the Mig-15 arrived in Korea and quickly brought about the development of the F-86 Sabre. In 1955 with aid from Russia Egypt bought some MiG-15bis fighters from Czechoslovakia. A short time later in 1956 the Suez Crisis developed and the Egyptian MiG-15bis managed to down three Israeli aircraft. The Crisis only lasted for a short time but again in 1967 during the Arab-Israeli Wars the Egyptian and Syrian MiG-15bis didn t do so well. The Israeli s executed pre-emptive strikes and destroyed most of the MiGs before they could get airborne. The few surviving MiG-15bis that did launch ground- attacks against the Israeli forces were now obsolete compared to the newer Israeli fighters and basically were committing suicide.
