I understand the MiG-15 is the most produced jet fighter of all time. With overseas production, more than 18,000 were built. I’ve never seen a photo of the assembly line and wondered if anyone has seen such a photo. I know it was behind the Iron Curtain but surely Soviets must have photographed their wonder weapon being built?

Yes, even here, in Russia, we saw very few MiG-15’s photos during production process until today. But I can show at least 2 photos here:
1) The beginning of MiG-15‘s production on State Aircraft Factory # 1, named after J. V. Stalin. Kuibyshev town, 1949:
2) The drying the paints on MiG-15 fighters in special drying chambers. State Aircraft Factory # 153, 1952:
