rverissimo Posted January 4 Posted January 4 hi all! 2024 it was a very good modelling year for me and for my backlog models I was able to finish 4 hangar queens ! This is the last one! 1:72 AZ model Mig17PF on Egypt AF colours! The model is a very difficult model to build, make no doubts of that, but despite of that it has very good details ( some of them i had to rescrive them). As if that was not enough, i cracked the front windshield and lost one of the main landing gears . A good friend of mine help me handing me a mig-17 PF from SMER. So i was able to adapt the canopy and the main gears from SMER on the AZ models airframe. It was not perfect, but it was done. the Pitot tubes ( that on the kit are very chunky and offscale ) so i replace them with 2 diameter needles trimmed to fit inside one of other). the colours used were from AK real colour (for the sand), for the underside blue, gunze and the green is a raf green from Tamiya ( sorry guys, did not wrote the exact colous). the weathering was achieved using lighter and darker tones of the base colours to create patches and beaten up camouflage. panel weathering was made with oil colours. The decals were a positive aspect of the model and performed flawless with the help of microset / microsol system. Used several light layers of vallejo matt varnish thinned with airbrush thinner from the same brand. the base was a piece of roofmate cut and carved with a template that i draw and printed in my 3D printer to replicate the typical soviet airfields slabs used . Painting and weathering was achieved using vallejo acrylic range. I'm happy to finish the model, it has some errors but it's done! thanks for watching! have a nice 2025! 6
KevinM Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Nice looking crate it's always good to clear out the hangar of unbuilts 1
rverissimo Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 Thanks Kevin! it was very satisfying having this one completed! Now next Hangar Queen! Have a nice 2025! 1
DocRob Posted January 5 Posted January 5 At least, it was not a space consuming hangar queen , but you finished her beautifully. The paintjob looks great and the airfield is a nice addition. Cheers Rob

I need to keep myself in this scale, because i don't have much space to keep them upon completion and for now i have to focus in small models ! my eyes work better in close range , so for now i'm confortable with this! Regards!
