MiG-15 (J-5) Ammunition Counter
Illuminate your home with a unique and rare piece of aviation history – the MiG-15 Ammunition Counter. This unique lighting piece is a handcrafted modification of an original ammunition counter from the Chinese variant of the MiG-15 (Shenyang J-5), known for its pivotal role in the skies of the Korean War. This model, free from the use of radium-based luminous paint, poses no radiation hazard, making it a safe and conversation-starting addition to your collection.
Designed to plug into a standard household socket, the lamp features adjustable count frequency settings, allowing you to simulate the firing rate of the MiG-15's formidable cannons, emulating the intense pace of aerial dogfights. (Nudelman-Rikhter NR-23 and Nudelman N-37 Soviet airplane autocannons) The red light, originally serving as a critical indicator of gun jams during combat, now adds an authentic touch to the piece and serves as a reminder of the harsh realities of wartime aviation.
Each unit is a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess behind the Soviet-era armaments, designed for durability and precision. While ensuring no radiation risks, as radium-based paints were not used in this Chinese variant, we preserve the original essence of the piece.
Please note, this handcrafted artifact may bear minor imperfections, a hallmark of its authenticity and craft. Celebrate the legacy of the MiG-15, an icon of aviation that once soared over the Korean peninsula, with this distinctive and functional work of art.
