MiG-17
Private Polish reconnaissance aircraft

I saw this plane at an air show in Houston and loved it, even though I hate communists and everything Soviet.
At first, I thought about buying a MIG-17 model and painting it red. But everything turned out to be more complicated.
First of all, this is a MiG-17, which was first produced in Poland under license. This is a version of lim6 with some changes made by a Polish engineer. Poles attached a brake parachute to the aircraft, which is not included with any MIG-17 models. I'll have to cut it out myself. This one is a reconnaissance model. It has a camera attached to the fuselage in a protective case, which I will also have to make myself. There's almost no information about these planes. There are no blueprints. Not even the book about Polish aviation talks about this change. We don't know exactly how many copies were made. I found information about 50 pieces. There are no decals in yellow. It will be interesting, on the whole. Join.
