Ryan Hothersall Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The 1:72 scale KP kit of the MiG-15 UTI built as a prototype trainer the Czechs thought they would need to train pilots for the radar equipped MiG-17PF. Only two aircraft were modified and the project was cancelled. Since it is the old KP kit, so the fit isn't the greatest, and the modifications I made needed a lot of filling and sanding anyway. The new intake and radar came off a KP MiG-17PF which was given to me in a box full of various broken bits and pieces, so the nose of the MiG-17 was sawed off and attached to the MiG-15, the new intake was a larger diameter than the MiG-15 one, so needed a fair bit of sanding to make it fit. Overall Tamiya XF-16 Aluminium. Decals are from the spares file. Gad to make the serial number up from individual decals.
