Mig88 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Here are a pair of desert scheme Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17PF "Fresco Ds" I built back in 2014. Both are from the Attack 1:144 kit moulds, the Syrian one from the original boxing whereas the Egyptian one was from the Mark I re-boxing. The Mark I kit came with a resin cockpit so I used it as a guide to scratchbuild one for the Attack kit using a Matador Models white metal MiG-21PF seat. Both kits had the radio mast and wing probes added from stretched sprue. The missing sway braces for the drop tanks were also added from thin plastic sheet. They were fully painted and varnished by brush. Firstly, ‘452’ of the Syrian Air Force, Syria, early 1970s. Secondly, a MiG-17PF of the Air Defence Air Regiment, United Arab Republic (Egypt) Air Force, Egypt, June 1967, during the Six Day War. Thanks for looking Miguel 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Wow,very nice! Sorry to ask, but are you sure Syrian PFs existed in these markings? Egypt and Syria became the United Arab Republic, that also changed the Syriam roundel! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syria was with Egypt in the United Arab Republic from 1958 to 1961 and the markings were different. I believe this roundel corresponds to Syria being in the Federation of Arab Republics with Egypt and Libya in the 1970s. Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
