Kit

    The Mig-17PF kit was first on sale back in late 80, I think. I didn't check the size nor the plans for the panels etc. as it looked to me good enough to have some building fun with it and have it on the shelf.

     For that time, the kit had quite nice interior with instruments deacals and some neat details to. And up to that it offers to versions, one with arnament of three cannons and the other one with rockets, as the Mig-17 was the first Mig fighter being equipped only with AA rockets.

Construction

    I started according to the instructions with the cockpit. I painted the details, glue together the bits and applied the decals on front and side panels.
