Elegant Fresco

[GTX_Admin]

Very subtle changes

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

Floatplane MiG-17 anyone?

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?

Diorama idea:

[Frank3k]

Those trucks look like Russian Austin Tillys

The do 

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.

1/48 scale MiG-17F:
Remove wings and wing roots
Remove cockpit
Remove vertical and horizontal tail.
Smooth the remaining fuselage into a tapered cylinder.
Place epoxy putty in both ends and sculpt to look like  tobacco and paint.
Wrap fuselage in thin brown paper

Behold!  A 1:1 cigar model
