Here is my latest work, a MiG-17PF of
the Syrian Air Force during the Israeli-Arab wars. Having always been fond of the
Middle East Airforces, I decided to build this cheap and old but very nice kit.

The work began with the usual, working the
cockpit. I had to build a lot of details from scratch. The seat was modified just
to capture the look of the Soviet KK-2 ejection seat. The cockpit got it's real
bulkhead wall and rails from scratch. The pitot tubes were scratched from
hypodermic needles and guitar wires.
Painting was done freehand using MM,
Revell and Tamiya enamels. During this build for the first time I used the
salt chipping technique and I must say that I like it a lot. The weathering was
done using an airbrush and ink + liquid soap mixture. I hope you like my little
MiG.
Happy modeling,
