bughunterOh, that is a very old kit. I have built a newer edition. Not sure, if the plastic parts was identical tool. The PE sheet was bigger.

Never a ProI know, I have seen your great build. This one will also be a Collinshaw's "black maria" with decals borrowed from a Camel.
I got this one from a guy in Switzerland, with my luck Eduard will retool it after I am done with this and sell it for half the price I paid for this one.
The detail looks acceptable, but I will have to do some improvements (aileron check windows, machine gun, cockpit, etc). The plastic quality is not great, but decals are impeccable.

Michael Kohlme too. I have a scale 1:72 for a bigger project in my stash. I am keen on your experiences.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Awesome progress so far. Would never be patient enough to do these kind of rigging ... never! How often did something fly around your bench? 😁😁

Never a ProI like rigging with EZ line, it is the cherry on top of a beautiful WWI kit

Ben MI've occasionally had luck with painting "microscale liquid decal film" on before using old decals. For the tail you can mask and paint the stripes pretty easily, I'd do the whole tail white and then do the red and blue. In the case where replacement decals cannot be obtained I've had luck scanning them and sending the scan to these folks: stsdecals.com/
I'm also going to try making my own decals for a project soon.
Anyway, as someone who builds old kits, the decal problem is one very familiar to me. Good luck!

Never a Proyeah, I can easily paint the tail stripes, but the problem still persists on the roundels. Anyway, thanks for the great tip, you never know when you need custom decals

CuajeteMarius, I'm glad you're taking up this interesting project again.
Very nice color scheme! It's the same scheme that this Mig-15 UTI? Egyptian Warriors (Condor Decals 72014, 1:72)

MariusThank you for the interest mates!
@Cuajete: in a way it's a similar pattern, but not two EAF machines of the same type had the same "Nile" camouflage pattern. This was left to the freedom of artistic expresion of the maintainance workers. The rule was to use those three main colors: sand, the weird green and a very dark green-tan (close to a complete black). The darkest color is certainly not the proposed brown of that decal sheet.
Otherwise, some of the EAF MiGs were overhauled in Warsaw Pact countries and were locally painted with only similar paints. The MiG-17 from the first picture of this album is such an example, where they applied directly black for the darkest color.
Sometimes order of colors was switched, while sometimes the applied pattern was completely irregular:

This one below is some restored/repainted piece of museum in the US, where the darkest color is wrongly applied as brown:
