The kit
The pieces/parts
The decals were shot, so what is on it were a small sheet I ordered from a chap in Czechoslovakia. With postage, it was only 5-6 bucks.
Here it is in all of its 1/72 glory.

Hesitant to post this, simply because it isn't much to look at. The canopy fought until the bitter end.

Nice work Lyle! Looking at the basic kit there is like looking at a modeling time machine to see kits used to be molded...

Thanks, Stik. Not much there, that’s for sure.

Wow, talk about a trip down Memory Lane! I remember building that same kit back when they were the only MiG-17's on the market!
There may not be much in them, but you sure did a spectacular job on that finish! Way to go Lyle!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Mark, I’m sure yours looks much better! The finish is the one part I am quite happy with.
