A company that few have heard of, Kanga produces(ed) sheets that are aimed at Russian aircraft, and from what I've seen of the few sheets I have, KP kits in particular. This one is for the MiG-15 and while no kit is specified, when this originally came out, you had little choice.

There are twelve options on the sheet, most of the planes are in unpainted metal.

Nine of them are aircraft in North Korean markings. While the instructions give some detail info, it is in Russian so I can't read it. Needless to say, there are planes with red noses, red fin tips and red forward fuselages. A few are camouflaged in Stone and Olive Green while one has 'tiger stripes'.

This scheme is also on the lone Chinese option.

There is a Czech version with a nice red arrow on the fuselage and red nose/tail tip.

The last option is a Russian aircraft with a red fuselage stripe. There is also a large red stripe to go on the upper wings and I have to assume it is for this option, though nothing is specific.

A set of data markings and guide are also provided. No upper camouflage information is shown aside from one of the 'tiger stripe' versions that show no upper wing insignia. There is a small cutaway showing a North Korean insignia on the upper right wing, but one isn't sure if this means there are four wing insignia or two, though there are six decals in two styles. Interestingly, the Czech option only has fuselage insignia and I always thought they had four wing insignia.

Also included are wing walk markings, nose anti-glare panel if needed and an instrument panel decal.

Not up to today's standard, but a sheet that should be useful once the excessive carrier film is trimmed back. I used these decals on my Mi-4 and while they were a bit brittle, they did conform to setting solutions.
