The MiG-17 was license-built in both China and Poland. In the early 1950s, the PLAAF obtained a number of Soviet-built MiG-17 Fresco-A day fighters, designated "J-5" or, when passed on to other countries, "F-5". The Chinese obtained plans for the MiG-17F Fresco-C day fighter in 1955, along with two completed pattern aircraft, 15 knockdown kits, and parts for ten aircraft. The first Chinese-built MiG-17F, produced by the Shenyang factory, performed its initial flight on 19 July 1956 with test pilot Wu Keming at the controls. The MiG-17F was known as the "J-5" in Chinese service, or "F-5" when it was exported. One was actually trialed as a torpedo bomber, but not surprisingly the concept never made it into formal service.
The cockpit is quite detailed. I used my dremal tool to strip off black paint to better show the instruments.
This kit seperates the tail section so you can view the WP-5 turbojet.
This shot shows the kit after a coat of Tamiya silver acrylic with a wash of black water color rubbed back.
The following shots are of the completed model.
