-Mig-9 Nato codename 'Fargo' is very exotic model from Amodel. Decals comes with Soviet and Chinese markings.I made Soviet plane (22) which was one of the first production models in actice duty.
-The parts doesn't fit together very well, the cocpit is too wide, and i have trouble to fit framework halfs together. But with patience and lot's of putty, it's not a big problem to fix. The plastic is very soft, and easy to treat. Surface details are overall quite good.
-Painting is easy to do, overall grey, and some steel to underbelly, behind the motors. Very nice and exotic model.
-The Mig-9 fighter was developed by A.I.Mikoyan and M.I.Gurievich design bureau and became the first jet fighter in service with Soviet Air Force. 610 aircraft were build in 1946-1948, many of them were delivered to China after retirement from Soviet Air Force
