Hobby Model 88 E152A Flipper

The MiG E-152 was a Soviet prototype fighter jet from the post-war period. The prototype's flight took place in 1959, but the machine did not enter serial production. In the E-152A version, the drive was provided by two turbojet engines Tumański R-11 . The machine did not have a permanent on-board armament.

Various versions of the MiG E-152 were developed as a development and modification of the prototype E-150 fighter, and the program aimed to create an interceptor with the best possible performance. In the course of trials and tests, several variants of this machine were created. The first was the single-engine E-152 powered by the R-15-300 engine. Two such prototypes, designated E-152-1 and E-152-2, were built. Another version was the E-152A, a twin-engine machine with other power units. The hull structure also changed. Another version was the E-152M, which was based on the E-152-2 prototype, on which the aerodynamic properties were improved. It is worth adding that the E-152-1 and E-152M airplanes broke international air speed records.
