MIG-15bis "Chinese Opera House Scheme" Chinese People's Volunteers Air Force (1:72 Scale)

Product Dimensions: 6.4 x 6.4 x 2.2 in.

Model History and Information: Chinese People's Volunteer units flew the MiG-15bis over Korea alongside Soviet and North Korean regiments, contesting the corridor American pilots called MiG Alley. Some of their fighters were bought with money raised at home: wartime campaigns across China collected donations to buy aircraft for the front. The best known effort was led by the Henan opera star Chang Xiangyu, who toured the country performing the story of Hua Mulan and, together with other opera troupes, raised 1.52 billion yuan, enough for a single aircraft. Presented to the state in 1951, the fighter was named Xiangyu Hao in her honour.
