The MiG-17 “Fresco” - A Very Odd Build

So what else are we supposed to do when you’re confined to your own home? Get into old hobbies, of course!

Today I started work on the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17, a Russian fighter aircraft built in the early 50′s. In my attempt to expand my horizons, I found this interesting non-Guillows model that I wanted to give a try, and maybe get more of if this one was any good.

So right off the bat, this got really weird to me really quick. Usually there’s a way to cut the plans in half without ruining the blueprints, however it’s not a possibility with this model. It’s a much bigger pain in the neck to have to fold them up and build the model on top of extra layers of paper.

Today I built the elevator, and one thing became apparent immediately- there weren’t any numbers on the parts! That was a real shocker, and it turns out there’s a separate paper with a parts list followed by their number, and you sort of have to figure out which parts are which from there, which was pretty inconvenient. Shown below is the completed stabilizer, with my own written-on pieces:

Notice that I had to add additional support to the structure, this is due to the elevator being very thin and fragile with this model. I had to use a lot of stringers to reinforce it so it wouldn’t break on me.

But that’s all for now friendos, stand by for more!

It was the first Soviet jet engine to reach full production. ⁣ ⁣ In 1946 in a bid to try to improve relations with the Soviet Union, British prime minister Clement Atlee authorized Rolls Royce to export to the USSR 40 Nene centrifugal flow turbojet engines under the conditions they not be used for military applications. Stalin had the Nene reverse engineered by Vladimir Klimov’s engine design bureau and this was the Klimov RD-45. ⁣ ⁣ However, Klimov’s engineers had metallurgical problems with the RD-45 so a redesign was done that improved reliability and performance and this improved engine went into production as the Klimov VK-1.⁣ ⁣ The initial production versions of the MiG-17 didn’t have an afterburner- but because of the centrifugal configuration of the Klimov VK-1 jet engine, the only way to get more performance out of it was to add the first afterburner in a Russian fighter jet- creating the VK-1F engine, F for “forsahzhem” meaning with afterburning. ⁣ ⁣ MiG-17s with the upgraded Klimov engine were MiG-17Fs which is the variant that here. The first afterburners were limited and could only be lit at altitudes over 9800 feet. Over time it was refined into something more versatile. During certain maneuvers, the afterburner flame appears to pulse- it’s still on, but aerodynamic effects from the wings and empennage of the jet interact with the afterburner flame, make it appear like a pulse jet.⁣ ⁣ At slow to moderate speeds (300-350 knots), antiquated MiG-17 was a ferocious adversary that could easily pull a 7G turn on a dime to get its 37mm and twin 23mm cannons pointed at you. ⁣ ⠀⁣ #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KAFW #AFW #AllianceAirport #airport #planespotting ⁣ ⁣ #Mikoyan #MikoyanGurevich #MiG #MiG17 #Fresco #RandyBall #instaplane #instagramaviation #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #mil_aviation_originals #flight ⁣ ⁣ #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at Fort Worth Alliance Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CET-A6Bh2uQ/?igshid=5xetx6wlqtwn

The MiG-17 “Fresco” - WTF Is This Model?

Okay, that’s it. From now on the MiG-17 build posts are going to just be roasting the hell out of this model, because it HAS to easily be the most vague, contradicting, confusing, flimsy model I’ve ever built. I’ve been whipping out these bad boys since 3rd grade, so that says a lot.

Anyway, today I decided to build the wings. As usual, construction was very flimsy- I could break this non-reinforced wing just by looking at it.

This model is weird. This is the actual placement for these wing fillets. Nutty.

Here’s to having to reinforce these wings with more stringers from other models, because... Jesus, I really know this will snap like a twig. Anyway, stand by for more “greatness”, if you want to call it that.
