This is definitely NOT a COPY of a DCU MiG-15. I have a DCU MiG-15 (with drawings) that is NOT for sale but is available for comparison. This one is about 8-10" longer, quite a bit fatter, no fin, no bifurcated inlet, the root airfoil stub is about 3" longer in chord and accordingly thicker. In other words it has almost nothing in common with a DCU MiG-15 other than the approximate shape and the material. I'm trying to be up front with what I know about the fuse - please don't cloud it with speculation.
edit: My issue is not with calling it a -15, it's the implication that someone copied DCU's work - that is most certainly not the case.
