discussion MiG 17 Fresco..... 'Bloomin MiGs everywhere GB'

Airfix 1/72 MiG 17 Fresco Egyptian Air Force 1956

Mixed feelings about this kit.... I found it ok... Not the best but not the worst

Most problems were of my own doing

It's a tail sitter despite the nose being packed with ballast.... Airfix must have anticipated this cos they include an oil drum to put under the back to prop it up

Enjoyed this GB as normal, thanks Neil

Don't you just hate it when everything is all done up and you think you have enough weight, to then find out you don't?

It's a nice little build, Paul, and as Tony says, a different set of markings.

There simply isn't enough room for enough weight..... I used a small lump of lead then packed it with plasticine

Great result Paul, in markings not often seen. A bit of an ask to fit 20 grams of ballast in the nose, but nice of Airfix to at least provide an oil drum.

That turned out well Paul. Great result.
