Top Gun MiG 17 in gentleman's scale.
« on: February 21, 2015, 09:13:57 PM »
Well.. it's actually an A4..


I saw this aircraft in a mag years ago and built one using a basic 1/32 Hasegawa Skeeter with masked markings and some home-made decals. I dragged it out tonight for its bicentennial dust repositioning.


Thankyou dear - you can put it down now.

Really well done, and a great demonstration of the "tricky" colors to make it appear like a MiG.

That's a real stunner, Uncle Les! I've never seen that "false MiG" scheme done better!

You're Michelangelo with an airbrush!
