I tried to turn Bruno's 1:300 MiG-15Bis into a MiG-17F. Here is the result (upscaled to 1:200). The only parts remaining from the original are the nose, canopy, and central fuselage (but made a bit longer).

Still needs some minor tweaks (tail cone end, upper wings root). I should have used spars for the wings and tailplanes. As always, I messed up the canopy when glueing it on the fuselage.



That triangular part at the end of the tail cone should be shorter.

Nice MiG-17 Carlos!

Nice one Cafe. That must have been some work. Isn't Roman's Mig-17 an For model?

[cafe]

Thank you!

I like the simplicity of Bruno's models and thought Roman's MiG-17 is too complex for my preferred scale (1:200). Thought I thought of doing the wings the way he did. And I might still cut the central fuselage into 2 segments. The fist attempt at a 4-segments fuselage didn't go well and I didn't even attempt a test-build. I also want to do a JJ-5/FT-5.

Dear Carlos:
Since I do 1/400, I greatly welcome this addition, and plenty of opportunities for recolors. Particularly important to Vietnam War modelers.
Happy modeling, redesigning and adaption, and recoloring.

Well, the current liveries include a VPAF example, even if I've seen a profile of the exact same serial w/ red fin top sporting the chinese national insignia instead of North-Vietnamese.

I'll probably build the indonesian version to validate the new (small) edits.

Hello Carlos ,

These are very nice models, great.
A question, Since I'm from East Germany,
Are these models also available as a Warsaw Pact version?
I would be very happy .

Thank you Andreas
