About the Mikoyan-Gurevich UTI MiG-15
The UTI MiG-15 (also known as the MiG-15UTI) was the two-seat trainer variant of the legendary MiG-15 jet fighter, one of the most important aircraft of the early jet age. The UTI designation stands for "Uchebno-Trenirovochnyy Istrebitel" (Fighter Trainer). Featuring tandem seating with dual controls, the UTI MiG-15 was used extensively to train pilots transitioning to jet aircraft throughout the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact nations. With over 3,000 built, the UTI MiG-15 served for decades and saw combat use in various conflicts. The trainer's distinctive extended canopy and combat heritage make it a favorite subject for Cold War aviation enthusiasts and jet trainer modelers.
What's Included
Eduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.
