Paragon Aircraft

I can see Tony's point. In fact the fuselage is too narrow. At 1:200 it's slimmer than the MiG-15 and MiG-17's which have one engine less. That's what gives the Su-7 impression.



Paragon's MiG-19 is in dark grey, the MiG-17 in red and the MiG-19 should probably be as wide as the green rectangle.

It needs a new fuselage with a least 4 or 5 segments depending of the intended scale. Papirmakettek's hand-drawn MiG-19 have between 7 and 8 segments but they're in 1:72 if I'm not mistaken. Aaron Murphy's model in 1:32 has 6 apparently. Bruno's 1:100 model has 5.

Of course, the Fitter is also a beast of a plane next to a MiG-15/17/19/21.

That mostly because the rear fuselage on Mig-19 was more like an ellipse than a perfect circle.

Mig-19's whole fuselage actually had almost the same thickness, I noticed that while I was visiting our local aviation museum and saw a real J-6/Mig-19.

Yes, it's more of an ellipsis. It's only round at the air intake.

It's the first time I see a J-6 with a shock cone. J-6 I ? J-6 II ?

"Shenyang J-6III – Advanced version of the J-6A with radome on the splitter plate (rather than the shock cone center body) for a Chinese-made radar. "

I took this photo at Shenyang Aviation Museum in 2011.

I build this Xiaoyang's MiG-19 version and although I modified the nose it looks so slim given it a Sukhoi appearance. The aircraft needs a lot of modifications in order to look like a MiG-19.

Here are some mods I made to Paragon Xiaoyang version, and three WIPs of Mig-19s. Papirmakketek fuselage seems to be wide, Bruno's seems to be OK but lacks top central spine and landing gear. As background Murph Model's reduced to 1/100 scale MiG-19 who seems to be the best model.

There in that image they look fantastic, the real thing!!!
Ahí se ven muy bonitos, en el modelo real!!!!

Está muy flaco
It's too skinny

I may not be successful but I'm going to attempt a new fuselage with 5 segments: two for the nose + 1 for the central section + 2 for the rear fuselage.

Looking forward to it.
Now I really want to build a Mig-19, and maybe the counterpart the F-100!
