According to the Complete book of Fighters the original production version was 32' 11.25", the Mig15bis was a little longer at 35' 7.5"

That would depend on the the size of the monitor, and whether there was any autofitting of the image, wouldn't it? :eddy:

No, this is a serious question ... :hmph:

Yes, It's the bis we're talking about. And you've just quoted something very interesting ... :levi:

Early production Bis is what is listed as being that length.

According to Wiki (and most other places) the length of a MiG-15 bis is 10.11 m (33 ft 2 in). But ... :coffee:

Strangely, one of the quoted sources for the wiki article is the vectorsite* entry:

http://www.vectorsite.net/avmig15_1.html#m3

... which gives the "long" length of 11.05 m.

*Great site BTW.

No, I'm trying to build one ... or two to be exact. But one of them has to be grossly wrong, since one kit scales up to just over 10m long, and the other kit to just over 11m long ... :lay:
