Ian Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Kit Hobbyboss 1:48 ‘J-5’. Paint All Tamiya acrylics & oil washes. Decals Hi Decal 48-012. Extras Pavla resin seat. MiG 17F Syrian Air Force ‘Yom Kippur War’ 1973 Built for the ‘From Russia With Love’ campaign over on www.modelersalliance.com. Lots of pre & post-shading to get the faded and ‘dried-out’ paint effects. Relatively straight-forward build which would have been completed a lot faster if we hadn’t had moved house in the middle of the project !! – build thread is http://www.modelersalliance.com/forum/from-russia-with-love/147646-mig-17-syrian-af-f-i-n-i-s-h-e-d#159721 if you’d like to take a look. As ever, thanks for taking the time to look, and all comments, criticism and questions are very welcome. AFN Ian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsPhil Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Very nice indeed, had a look through your build as well as I fancy one of these but I wasn't sure how good the kit was! I think you've sold it to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 When I think of a MiG-17, this is almost exactly as I imagine it! A Cold War 'Axis of Evil' warrior weathered and used, this looks fantastic. Really impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 You don't see many of these HB MiG 17 kits built for some reason but this one is a cracker. Great camo and weathering. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks all, really appreciate the positive responses. Artur I used your build from a couple of years ago as both reference and inspiration. Have to say I really enjoyed the build and the final 'look'. Whole thing came-out exactly as I hoped.
