1/48 Hobbycraft Mig-17

--------------------

 

This kit is given to me by a fellow modelling friend, and I built it straight from box, except for the 3 canons replaced by brass tube. The cockpit details are quite basic, panel lines are recessed, but a bit deep. The intake has no details and you can see through to the cockpit. So, I covered it with a simple scratch-build intake cover. The overall shape looks ok to me.

The original decal sheet is still usable, consisting of 1 marking for NVAF and 1 for Indonesian Aero Display team. I choose to build the NVAF version. Overall it is a fun build. I have put the model on display in 1 of local hobby shop in Singapore.
