olgerd83 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi everyone, I also decided to join to this GB with the model of MiG-17PF in 1/32 from Trumpeter's kit MiG-17F. I want to make exactly PF, because there is a wrong canopy for F modification in the kit, however at the same time there is a canopy for PF modification, which is also not the perfect one, but it looks much better. I'm going to use Eduard's PE kit and some scratch-build parts. I have started my build a few days ago and almost completed interior. to be continued... mpk, Harold, Girlscanplay2 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Very nice! If it helps, there is a corrected vac canopy for that kit, available from Squadron, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olgerd83 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah I know, thanks, I used it for my MiG-15 bis, but unfortunately it's not available in Ukrainian model shops and, except that item, I need nothing in foreign shops, so no one sells me only that vac canopy Edited October 1, 2014 by olgerd83 Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Paul Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oleg, Welcome to the Group Build. I have added your name and project to the who's doing what in the group build list. Please make sure you have read the "rules of the road" post at the top of this forum. We have 3 months left in the group build, so hopefully you will have plenty of time to complete this project. the work you have done so far looks great. Looking forward to more progress!

olgerd83 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Paul thanks, usually it takes about 2.5-3 months to make a model, so if nothing wrong happens I hope that I'll complete the model in time LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 You're very welcome! If there is anything we can help with, parts etc.. say so.. we have been trading stuff back and forth since before May in this group build. Perhaps if you need something you can't get in Ukraine, a fellow modeler in Europe can help with, so just ask. So far I have sent things to France, Germany Austria and 4 States in the Untied States. I have also received things from 3 countries and 4 states in the US. Paul Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olgerd83 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 small update: I put about 35g of weight in nose (I hope it' be enough), glued pit into its place and made PE exhaust, to make afterburn camera smooth I glued a rolled paper there.

olgerd83 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks Mike. I'm thinking about this plane I found a photo of a real plane, but I have some doubts abouts the red tail...

olgerd83 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 both sides of the fuselage were glued, so as wings and horizontal stabs, also I replaced camera on the right side of the nose such as on PF modifications Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
