The original wheels are intact and functioning. The sources disagree slightly on the exact production date, so the 1970s–80s range is approximate.

A heavy metal toy like this one has a very different feel from the lighter plastic planes made later. It is a good fit for collectors of vintage Soviet toys, Cold War aviation memorabilia and metal model aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671643488405,"sku":"v1|407176514976|0","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/s-l1600_c115c70c-2e56-4d55-9b7f-9a0c747185b4.jpg?v=1791482298","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/soviet-toy-airplane-metal-mig-15-style-jet-fighter-red-stars","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
