This will be interesting to see what paint schemes/nationalities they do as well as the quality of the paint jobs. I was rather let down with the Flight Wing P-51Ds. Neat schemes to choose from, but lots of little errors that killed the model, especially given the price point. I thought 21c did a great job with their 3 Mig-15 examples... The Russian version being my favorite.

Moin Meister,
bestellst Du die Teile im Ausland? Je nach Preislage würde ich mir 2-4 NVA´s auf Lager legen.
Melde dich doch mal.
viele Grüße
Sven

For all the others:
I´ve asked him if he´s able to order more models via an american seller. Because I like that NVA-MIG.

Fine, 4 re-release from the ex 21st molds... One is unchanged, the russian 384. But 3 new paintings... For those not used with german and the Warbirdmodelle.de site, here are the pics:

More classic than the green tiger look of the 1st chinese version:

Wrongly (?) given as a (chinese) PLAAF, but it's a Korean one according to the markings, though the high number might suggest it is a chinese:

My prefered one, DDR - East Germany. Would make a nice pair with the west german Admiral CL-13/F-86 or with the 21st Century russian 384:

I have dreamed I could buy 4 different versions of the F-86 Sabre and hang them at my cellar's ceiling, now I can dream of a mixed squadron with 4 different silver MIG-15bis. WOW... but prefer waiting for the Harrier.

Those actually all look good. Too bad no Russian version, though the old 21c version really is just right. I rather like the Chinese version with that solid red tail.

Thought I would yawn when I saw them but I actually like the Chinese and N.K versions........ but not enough to shell out what I'm guessing will be in the $100 range. :wink:
