Here are my newest models: MiG-15bis from Tamiya, and a MiG-17 PFU from Hobbycraft, both in 1:48.

As you can see, that the MiG-17 is modified. I cut the fuselage in to two parts and insert the schott from an other Tamiya MiG-15, I also cut the canopy, the back for the airbreaks and the wings for the flaps.

The VK-1F is a modified RD-45 from the second Tamiya MiG-15 I had. The basic engines from the RD-45 and VK-1F are pretty the same, the only difference is the exhaust pipe-VK-1F has an afterburner.
