Ryan Hothersall Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The 1:72 scale Dragon MiG-17F built in the markings of the Egyptian Air Force at the time of the 1956 Suez Crisis. Not many parts to this kit, so not hard to build. Paint used is Tamiya XF-16 Aluminium. However, the recognition stripes on the wings were a different story, Tried decals at first, but couldn't get them to fit right, so took them off and tried painting the stripes. That did not work at all. Sanded them off and tried again with decals, which worked ok. Rear fuselage stripes are off a Hobby vraft decal sheet, wing roundels are also off a Hobby Craft decal sheet, and fuselage roundels are from Hi Decal and I did break one while applying it.
