Indonesia Independence Day

MiG 17F Indonesian Air Force

Here's my big 1/32 MiG-17.  I used the resin Model lab Cockpit (they are a Hong Kong Company).  For decals I used  Eagle Strike.  When it came to painting I went with a combination of TS 30 –Tamiya spray, Shading w/ Tamiya enamel Paint.

Weathering was done with oil paint.  As for the kit itself....I liked the excellent fit and detailed engine with detachable aft body although I found the wheel wells too shallow.
