Hello all, this is my first ARC submission!  This is my attempt at the AZ Models “MiG-17F over Vietnam” kit which I built mostly out of the box.  The only additions are a Pavla ejection seat and a scratchbuilt intake cover.  I painted and post-shaded the model with Humbrol enamels, deepened the panel lines with a sharp pencil, and used the kit decals. 

Weathering was a mix of pastel chalk and washes.  I added some wear and tear by “chipping” the darker green camouflage with the lighter green color and I used a silver artist’s pencil to add some wear and tear along the leading edges, around access panels and high traffic areas.  I hope you enjoy the photos!
