MiG 17 PF WIP

  MiG 17 PF WIP

As the summer sales are on at the moment I have gone a little crazy and pickup a number of kits for my collection from early war ww2 through to current. With that I continue my MIG obsession at the moment, another MIG15 and two MiG 17s purchased as commenced. Simple Plastyk builds, one will join my Egyptians and Iraqis.

Syrian Airforce - Yom Kippur MiG 17

MiG 17PF

Another addition for my air cover for my Yom Kippur war collection first up a MiG 17PF from Plastyk models. A simple build from very old KP models kit, not the greatest kit, it had very bad fit on the body and wing mounting and the tail is incorrect along with the canopy. Still painting the pilot though which I used a 3d print, hard to find a pre 60 pilot so I ended up using a tank commander. 

Quite happy with the results, I think I will purchase a Eduard kit and do another model of a MiG 17 as I really enjoyed the build. I used AK real colours enamel and weathered it heavily with a brown ink wash. Decals were supplied in the kit, the tail Chequers were hand painted along with the nose. 

Cheers
