Andy BallI didn't realise you were working on this one too? I think we've encountered similar challenges regarding fit? Yours looks great!!

MariusThank you Cuajete and Andy for stopping by.
Andy, I am currently having 3 MiG-17s in work and I might be starting 2 more quite soon.
The work on the other two ones is slower, so I posted the Syrian one first.
Yes, we definitely encountered the same fit issues. But in the end, there are far worse kits out there.

Bernd GrünA nice looking 'Fresco', Marius. Great paint job and weathering. Cheers! 👍

Mid FranconianGreat MiG! I suppose the original one did not survive Israeli air raids during Six Day War…

MariusThank you Franconian for the comment, I am happy you like it!
I can't tell much about the number 2300 itself. But as a matter of fact, the SyAAF was by no means battered in the first day of the war, unlike the wide spread perception. I have written a little bit about this in my Syrian MiG-21F-13 project (MiG-21F-13 - Syria - 1967 | Project by Redicus (1:72)). There were plans made even before the war to evacuate the aircraft to the northern airbases in case of an Israeli attack. Since Egyptian bases were hit first, there was some time to save most aircraft. A few Syrian MiG-17s were still hit on ground, but most Syrian MiG-17s lost during the Six Day War were actually lost during ground attacks against the advancing IDF shot down by ground fire during rather uncoordinated or chaotic actions. I don't have exact numbers right now but I can recheck the literature if needed. It is hard to say how many actually survived the Six Day War, but many certainly lived long enough to see extensive action later in 1973. I am actually working on another Syrian MiG-17 from 1973 (with camouflage painting).

MariusThank you so much mates, highly appreciated! I think lightning and photography are quite important at the end. I am certainly not mastering this part.
I managed to recently finish another related MiG-17:

Andy BallThe lighting and photography are superfluous to a great build completed! Bravo!!

ClementLooks like I missed this one, it's a lovely Mig-17.
Nice Mig-17 and Mig-19 collection, Marius!
