Col. Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) A few of us were chatting about the potential for a MiG-17 STGB over in the Africa GB yesterday so let's make it an official proposal. I've included the -15 as well due to the -17 being a development of its earlier brethren. Any scale. Any kit. Any operator. Any version. !, @Col. 2. @Corsairfoxfouruncle 3, @Wez 4, @zebra 5, @Valkyrie 6, @Tim R-T-C 7, @stevehnz 8, @DaveyGair 9, @Smudge 10, @Jabba 11, @Foxbat 12, @modelling minion 13, @almac 14, @RidgeRunner 15, @Angus Tura 16, @reini 17, @Evil_Toast_RSA 18, @GrahamCC 19, @exdraken 20, @Beazer 21, @Marklo 22, @Peter Lloyd 23, @Adam Poultney 24, @Andwil 25, @helios16v 26, @Bill Davis 27, 28, Edited August 16, 2021 by Col. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hello @Col. yes Im pretty sure they wouldn't mind. Hmm anyone do a 1/32 Mig-15/17 time to go look ? I feel like doing a larger build. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yes Trumpeter looks to be the culprit here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Count me in. Don't have either of them in the stash but both are very tempting. Quite like the idea of doing a MiG-15UTI as the Soviet ejection seat testbed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I do love the MiG-15, built a few and the only a/c I have on permanent display is a pro built Czechoslovak 🇨🇿 MiG-15. I’d fly this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Why not, by the time I get the Xtradecal Mig-17sheet & a couple (or so) extra Airfix kits, I'd be a sitter for it. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, yes count me in. Nice idea to include the Mig-15 as well. I've got a few HobbyBoss kits, which were the best 1/72 kit before the Eduard one came out. I've loads of decal choices as well. Here's a nice link to a HobbyBoss kit review http://internetmodeler.com/scalemodels/aviation/Hobby-Boss-1-72-MiG-15bis-Fagot-MiG-15UTI-Midget-Easy-Assembly-Kits.php Fingers crossed for this one to go through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The undeniable similarity between ths two and my understanding that the -17 was initially thought of as a development of the -15 by Mikoyan Gurevich themselves made it seem a logical idea to twin them up The HobbyBoss kit looks to be an easy way to get a nice model of the type.

modelling minion Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Resistance is futile! Stick my name down Col, I know I have a Trumpeter 1/48 Mig-15 UTI in the stash and have a feeling there might be a 1/48 Mig-17 lurking in there somewhere and if not I am sure I might have joined the Airfix Mig-17 club by the time we get started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
