Building The 1/32 Hobbycraft kit and instructions say wing markings of Russian piloted MiG-15's during the Korean war were very rare. Any truth to this? I see almost all builds of this AC with wings fully marked.
Cheers!
Edit note: While I'm at it,were victory marks present on Russian piloted Korean fighters?Were they stars or? where would they be painted? By the cockpit? Tail?
TIA again,fellows!

Rick - I believe that applies to Russian and Eastern Block piloted Migs only. The Korean piloted Migs were fully marked.
Edit note: Note the Kill Markings under cockpit, this is a Chinese piloted Mig. I found no photos of North Korean. or other piloted Migs with Kill Markings ?

Thanks Chuck! I'm going to dig a little deeper on this before I commit further on the build.
