When this aircraft build first popped up on the forum I just couldnโt get over the camouflage pattern. Iโm a sucker for any kind of paint job/ scheme that is out of the ordinary and thisโฆโฆthis is just THAT. Iโve known Gary for a long time and have somehow not seen this build of his until recently. I was astounded by what he has achieved with not only the painting and detailing that went into this build but also these forced perspective shots that he pulls off so very well. Great work on this one bud and she sure looks good at the top of the page. The Completed Thread: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG17F North Vietnamese Air Force

Thanks so much for this honor, Joe! ๐๐ป And thanks to Leon, Brent, Kyle and John for your comments! ๐ฅ In the words of my long-gone Dad, "Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then." ๐ Sometimes, even I get lucky with a model and this MiG is one that turned out well. I sure appreciate all of your encouragement and support; one can never have too much of that! ๐

A very good looking model and nicely put into scene. But why has he red stars as kill marks on the fuselage?

That paint job is a 10/10!! Really fantastic job! Thank you, Keith! ๐๐ป I was pretty scared of that scheme and worried that the old Paasche H wouldn't be up to it in my hands, but it turned out better than expected. I think I just got lucky with this one! ๐ I sure appreciate the kind words! ๐ค
