1/48 Hobby Boss Mig-17 F Fresco

Gallery Article by Ioannis Giavasis on May 31 2010

 

The Hobby Boss kit is value for money, low priced while it provides good exterior detail and a very good Klimov engine.  I used the Neomega set for the cockpit and Quickboost guns.

There are some fit issues with the kit, especially the fit of the fuselage's two halves (front and back) which needed some attention.  I used a riveter for the fuselage rivets.

I painted the model to represent an Egyptian Air Force aircraft.
