I have chosen this kit to be presented during our National day,
here, on ARC. Many thanks to all of the ARC for such a feature and possibillity
to present each country. Hope you enjoy this gallery.
This model goes mostly out-of-the-box, only a few details
were added. I added a few details to the cockpit - harness for the
ejection seat and loading tows for the cannons. No aftermarket decals or sets
were used. The model went good together, the only defect of this kit is that the
real fuselage profile of the real airplane is rounded but in the kit the
fuselage has oval profile. The shape of the model really nice represent the
shape of real MiG-17F.

The model represents
the real personal aircraft of Major General Jozef Kúkel, People's
Czechoslovak Republic (CSLA). He was flying this machine in the year
1956.
I used oil colors for
weathering. The kit is painted with Humbrol and Agama enamels, the camouflage is
sprayed with the help of Tamiya HG-T airbrush.

I enjoyed the kit very well,
it was quite easy to build and looks pretty good.
