Two-In-One Russian Military Model Set
Introduced in the skies above Korea in late 1950 and serving well into the 1970s with various air forces around the world, the MiG 15 is one of the most famous fighters of the modern era.

Developed from late-WWII German designs, the MiG 15 was light, agile, and proved a dangerous adversary for U.N. pilots in Korea. The GAZ-67B was designed as a light all-terrain vehicle for the Russian army during WWII. With its 54 hp liquid-cooled 4-cylinder engine and rugged construction, it had excellent off-road performance. Produced from 1944, the GAZ went on to serve with both Russian and many Warsaw Pact armed forces after WWII

About the MiG 15
The Soviet built MiG 15 jet fighter was first encountered by UN fighter pilots in 1950, during the Korean War, and was used widely by former Eastern Block countries through the 1970's. Following WWII, Soviet aviation developers studied captured German aircraft and new aviation technology to produce 35-degree swept wing jet fighter with incredible speed, powerful accent, and an incredibly high ceiling. At the beginning of the Korean war the MiG 15 fought head on against and overpowered the American F-84G Thunder Jets and F-80 Shooting Stars. After, the hurried production of the North American F-86 Saberjet, designed to fight the MiG 15, these two planes engaged repeatedly in intense air-to-air combat for the remainder of the war.

About the GAZ-67B
At the start of WWII, the Russian army did not have a suitable small 4X4 utility vehicle comparable to the American Jeep or German Kubelwagen. The design team at GAZ (Gorkovski Avtomobilny Zavod) was tasked to develop such a vehicle, and eventually the GAZ-67 was born in 1943.The design was heavily influenced by American Jeep models and prototypes received through Lend- Lease, but although the GAZ-67 had better rough terrain performance than the American Jeep, it?s reliability was far from stellar. Nevertheless, over 90,000 GAZ-67s were produced from 1943 until well after the end of WWII, and they served with the in the armed forces of Russia as well as various other Warsaw Pact countries.
