1/144 Shenyang J-6A/Nanchang J-6B (Chinese Dragon)

Mark I - 1/144 Shenyang J-6A/Nanchang J-6B Farmer B/D 'Chinese Dragon'
The Shenyang J-6A was the Chinese counterpart of the original MiG-19P, a radar-equipped Soviet supersonic fighter developed in the early 1950s, while the Nanchang J-6B was a local designation for the all-weather MiG-19PM interceptor.
Both aircraft were single-seat, all-metal monoplanes powered by two WP-6 (a licence-built Mikulin RD-9B) turbojets and were designed for interception, close air support and limited fighter-bomber roles. The J-6A mounted two cannons and could carry IR-homing anti-aircraft missiles, while the J-6B only carried similar missiles, rocket pods or bombs.
Following the initial manufacturing problems in China, the production was later resumed (J-6As in 1961 and J-6Bs in 1974) and both types of aircraft eventually entered service only with the Plaaf fighter units.
