A sort of wif MIG 17-the decals I used were supplied in this Hasegawa boxing with paint scheme derived from the Nguyen Van Bay scheme given in the instructions crossed with what I saw on a weathered example preserved in Hanoi which was green sprayed in a random pattern over nmf.

I really like this - a subtle whiff very nicely finished

Very nice Van, why not bring it with you for the MK show. see how many we can confuse with it

Looks menacing. Is this 1:72 ?

Got to admit, if it wasn't for the fact it was on this forum I would never have realised it was a whiff, subtle & very convincing. Great stuff!

Thanks for the feedback-Martin I plan to come to MK, so I'll bring it!

cheers

Good looking model well done.

If you hadn't said it was a Whif I wouldn't have known.

Ditto.

I can picture in my mind a couple fellows discussing Major Ping-Pong's tally on this very same airplane in 'Nam, even citing books and authors, while watching this beauty at the exhibition.

Wonderfully made, Van.
