The MiG-15 was designed in 1948 by the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau as the I-310. It was an advanced swept-wing fighter, but there was no suitable jet engine to power it, until the pro left-wing British government authorised Rolls-Royce to give the Soviets the Nene engine. This was quickly copied and became the Klimov RD-45, and the renamed MiG-15 entered service in 1949. This was followed by an improved version, the MiG-15bis, and the two-seat MiG-15UTI.
The MiG-15 was exported to many pro-Soviet countries, and also licence-built by Czechoslovakia, Poland, China and others. Over 8,000 were built in the USSR alone, and many saw combat in the Korean War, where the aircraft proved to be better in many ways than the F-86 Sabre. The USAF pilots were generally better trained, and the Sabre had better gun-sights, which swung the balance back in their favour.
The MiG-15 was armed with 1 x 37 mm cannon, and 2 x 23 mm cannon. It could also carry bombs or fuel tanks on under-wing hard points.
This example is a MiG-15 UTI of the Romanian Air Force, circa 1953.
Nice work, I really like your color profiles, but there are a few mistakes about this MiG. Namely, from 1950 to 1985, the Romanian Air Force had a different roundel than the current one, displayed on your MiG. It was a red star with a yellow circle and blue dot inside it. It was also positioned on the rear fuselage, besides the tail. See:

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

For historical accuracy, you should either change the year or the roundel
Also, the fonts for the serial are a bit off, in shape. Usually (especially post 1960's) they were outlined in white, see:
