This one 45th Experimental Sqn, Polish AF, 1993. The last flight special marking.
This probably be the last completed build for 2024.

A fine kit considering its age. Decals were quite fragile.

Nice finish Tom! Hard to believe that the Poles were still flying these in 1993!

Thanks,

A tail sitter for sure. Nothing in instruction guide to add weight in the nose or anywhere. Strange.

Those swept wings move the center of gravity further aft, I'd reckon.

Re: AZ Model 1/72 Mig-17F
Thank you for the kind words. I've grown to like these Russian Cold War era fighters.
Now my plan is to get 2 more Mig-21Fs. I'm looking at getting the Airfix Mig-21F kits for the other two decal schemes.
