stenkabg Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hello. The long time promised MiG-17 PF correct nose for the Hobby Boss kit. The first shots of the master WIP. Still needs some refinement and detail. It will include the front wheel well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mike_espo Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Is the HB kit that far off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Is the HB kit that far off? Yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yes. Please illustrate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stenkabg Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 This is how much they differ. I have personally measured one at the Bulgarian Air Force Museum in Plovdiv. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike_espo Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Don't mean to be difficult, but when attached to the fuselage, is it still bad? In your hand the HB piece is at an angle and does not include part of the fuselage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stenkabg Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 The HB piece makes the whole front fuselage squashed. And it is not only that - the gun blisters on the belly of the HB MiG are very small. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Intake discussion in the comments of http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=3764 The HB one looks "rounded triangle". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andzin Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) At last correct nose to MiG-17PF! Could You consider correct nose for LiM-5P - it's different, and as far as I know Bulgaria used some of them ;-) Here http://modelwork.pl/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=13244 You can find photo of both noses Edited March 5, 2016 by Andzin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Petarvu Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Stenka,fix those Trump MiG noses! We need those corrections! P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Very nice, Stenka. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Thank you Stenislav for you dedication to "shape correction" (and sharing you scratchbuilding talent with us!) i'll for sure get at least one or two of your MiG-17 sets when they'll be ready. (as i've already have 3 of your MiG-21bis noses...and eagerly waiting for your MiG-23ML/MLD and BN front fuselage correction sets...)

B.Sin Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Too bad the manufacturers don't employ these guys to do their design work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Too bad the manufacturers don't employ these guys to do their design work. Some do. Trumpyboss doesn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stenkabg Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 I will send it for casting in the end of this week. Still need some gentle sanding here and there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Petarvu Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Can we preorder? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellyF15 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 That is really nice. How is the fit to the kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Wow very, very nice :thumbsup: I always thought the Trumpeter kit looked odd and to be honest I could not figure it out. I just thought it was the version. I will have to put this on my shopping list for sure along with the MiG 23 correction set. Now that needs it for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Great work on that new nose for the 17. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Wow your new one is so different than the original kit which is a good thing :). Yet another item on my list to get. Thanks so much for producing this set. I know I do not have the skills to do something like this and you saved me lots of misery having something so wrong in my model.
