Jamme Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Thank you Williamj. It's the best way (at least for me) that I found to "remove" all the rivets. My first try with the Putty, was really not convincing, so I tried it with Zap. I find the results are better this way.

Jamme Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hello everybody. It's week-end, so it's time for a (little!) UP! I finished one side of the fuselage.(rivets and scribing the panel lines.) I glued the canon bay en sanded it smooth with the (half) fuselage. Much sanding...... I also make the ejection holes. Sorry for the bad pictures. I almost finished the AMS pit (thank you harold ) I have to make little touch-up. I dry fited the pit in the fuselage. That's where I would like your advice to know if the placement is good. Thank you for your answers. Once again sorry for the not so good pictures. If I have time, will do another UP tomorow. Cheers, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Cockpit looks awesome Jammie! It looks like it's starting to come together. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I know close to nothing about Mig 17 but it looks nice to me. I like your paint job on the pit. Cheers, Loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Your 'pit placement looks good to me. If you look at the instruction sheet, you will find a gunsight template. that is to help you cut out the correct amount of plastic, so that the gunsight sits in the right location.

mgbooyv8 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi Jamme, I can understand you leave this WIP for some time. Its hard work to build it properly. Thanks to you I continued the @#$%& thing. Anyway, I made a lot of pictures in the process. I will post them soon on LSP to continue my WIP. But first I have to make a photbucket -or similar- account Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngtiger1 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Very nice project and build. You are doing great work. I have the same kit but wasn't sure if I wanted to build it or not, but looking at yours I think I must follow to learn what you are doing.

whiskytngofxtrt Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Jamme, I just found your WIP on Trumpeter's MiG-17. It's looking beautiful--I especially like how you've done the burnt metal of the jet engine, and the cockpit is a work of art. I built a 1/72 MiG-17 from Hasegawa almost 30 years ago, and I have fond memories of that little silver gem sitting on my bedroom bookcase! I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
