Random idea:  something such as a MiG-17 but with RR Pegasus (or Soviet equivalent/copy - perhaps Tumansky R-28 V-300)

Does anyone know of a conversion for the MiG-17 SN, an experimental variant of the MiG-17 designed to allow 23mm cannons to pivot to engage ground and air targets?

The do  :D

But these Tillys are Moskvich-400-422 (or -2562?) models ... which was based directly on the Opel Kadett K38. There was a dedicated airfield version - the Moskvich-400 APA-7 - but these look like 'militarized' pickup models.

Thanks! ICM makes many variants of the  K38 in 1/35, including the Moskvitch 401-420. Shouldn't be too hard to turn them into a pickup truck.
