1/48 marine Mig-17 with folded wings FINISHED!

[wacek85]

Hello,

Today I've bought 1/48 Mig-17PFU along with Djiti's Productions pilot, Eduard seatbelts and Master gun barrels to make a model which coulldn't get out of my head for a long time - marine Mig-17 with folded wings, tailhook and bigger exhaust. Of course I will give it polish markings and scheme used in Polish Marine Aviation but only once on one plane which was TS-11 Iskra R "Novax" - blue topside, light grey bottom.

I think I'll place it on small base resembling Kolobrzeg Bagicz airbase (which in real world was used by soviets to 1991).
First photos soon...

Why not go one step further and invent a Polish Aircraft Carrier and make a base showing a piece of flight deck?

Looking forward to this

Because every polish harbour is too small and shallow for aircraft carrier😁 And I want to use existing infrastructure. There is a lot of unused airbases in Poland...

So, the Polish version of the Deutsche Marine's Marineflieger. Cool!  

The Polska Marynarka Wojenna's Lotnictwo morskie(?).




[(?): I hope I got the Polish right on that. ]

An Air Cushion Aircraft Carrier would solve the depth issue.

Details... Just dig out Dzinów and the lake behind it.

PSR sessions...

Missile pylons in this kit are nightmare to install. Need to repaint bottom side of wings

Looking really good!  

The pilot figure is excellent!

Wow, that nose is ugly!  Perfect!

Great color! 

[wacek85]

Thanks a lot

Now it looks like below. I have to wait for another set of Smer Mig-17PFU to "borrow" missile pylons...

That is a very accomplished piece of whiffery.  Well done!
