1/48 Mig-15 UTI Trumpeter

I live in Honduras C.A. I'm a member from CMEH "Club de Modelismo a Escala de Honduras", this is my first submission on ARC.
To build my model I used the Eduard photo etched # EU48418 because the model needed some interior work on the cockpit and engine.  A True Details Mig-15 wheel set are added, the decals used are ILIAD Designs From Canada, paints used are a mixture of Testors Sand and Radome tan, Dark Tan and Flanker pale blue underside.  Things I liked were the engraved panel lines which are nice and fine but I dislike the interior instrument panels and the ejection seats really need a change or extra modifications to do a better an accurate model.  To weather my model I use chalks.

The figure is from Hasegawa Ground Crew set A with a little modification and the tool box comes from Verlinden  WW II German Mechanics set.
The aircraft tail cart is from Tamiya Mig-15, the Trumpeter Mig-15Uti doesn't come with it.

I'm really happy to build this model, the fit is good and doesn't represent any problems. 
I hope you like it.  Thanks.
Giancarlo
