During my trip to Kissimmee Warbird
Museum, Florida, USA, I was fortunate to have access to their MiG-17F
under restoration. This 'Fresco' has s/n 1705 and is property of Thom
Richard.

The
other
wing:
The left
wing - apparently already restored - was stored
in another hangar. Except for the flaps, everything was there, and it
was possible to check the wheel wells, landing gear and landing light.
Now, fellow modelers, how to claim that Trumpeter riveting monster is completely
wrong?!
Engine:
I hope
you find these photos useful to your next modeling project. If you have
any interesting information about the history of this aircraft, please drop
me
a
line.
One
day
I'll
fly a UTI. Meanwhile, where's my Trumpeter kit?...
