Yeah, mine is like Razman's... no jeep. Just finished painting the silver interior. Photo will follow soon.

Some photo update:
Nose cone interior and intake area are painted with silver.
Cockpit tub and fuselage interior
Cockpit and instrument panel. Lightly drybrushed with silver.
Prior to paint the silver, I've undercoated the parts with flat black.
The front half of the fuselage assembled. Notice that I don't paint the engine 'cos I will glue it shut later.
Last night applied some putty and did a minor sanding before I dozed off. Will continue today and hopefully get this bird primed this weekend.

This is going to be a normal build. That's why I don't paint the engine details.

Long overdue update,
Prior to painting, I did a bit of experiment. I wipe the model with alcohol swab to get rid of oil and dirt.
The MiG was primed and given a flat black base coat. Silver was applied by moving the handpiece from front to back to create some streaking effect.
The streaks are more obvious on the underside...

Sand the MiG-15 with 2000 grit sandpaper and repaint the silver. Weapons and antennas attached. Drop tanks painted but not attached yet.
Waiting for decal...

Decals applied...
The toughest one to apply is the bolt on the tail. I cut them into few pieces and as if jigsaw puzzle, I apply the decals accordingly. The bolt end on the right side was messed up, so I use the extra decal for the clear body. It is not opaque, so there's some discoloration there.
