Planetags MiG-15 MIDGET

Own a piece of MiG-15 history

Bring an authentic piece of Cold War aviation into your collection with a PlaneTags MiG-15 Midget made from SBLim-2 N2400X, known as “Red 511”. This rare Polish-built, two-seat trainer survived decades of service before MotoArt preserved part of its aircraft skin as PlaneTags in 2026.

Each individually numbered collectable retains the markings, wear and patina of its source material, offering a tangible connection to the aircraft rather than a replica made from new metal.

The story of Red 511

N2400X began life as a Polish-built SBLim-2, a trainer variant of the MiG-15. Developed by converting earlier single-seat fighters into two-seat aircraft, the SBLim-2 helped prepare a new generation of jet pilots during the Cold War.

After decades of service behind the Iron Curtain, Red 511 reached the United States through private ownership. In 2026, MotoArt recovered and preserved part of its skin to create these genuine aircraft collectables.

A landmark in early jet aviation

The MiG-15 was among the first operational jet fighters with swept wings. Its design enabled it to approach the speed of sound and outperform many of the early straight-wing jets, helping reshape aerial combat with transonic performance and powerful armament.

The type became famous during the Korean War, confronting North American F-86 Sabres over “MiG Alley” and posing a threat to Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers. Red 511 represents the training lineage of this influential aircraft, rather than a claim that this particular airframe fought in those battles.
