I should have -1- glued the rudder on straight as per David Duckett's Mig 17 build (I had read it but forgot), -2- installed the rear view Periscope by the canopy, -3- installed wing fuel tanks, -4- built wing Anhedral (not the kit dihedral), as per D.D., -5- installed the third cannon beside the first two cannons, -6- made four K-5 air to air missiles, now that I researched it all.... |

I added a little extra width on the canopy bottom strips, so that they woould extend down onto the fuselage a little bit further, to hide the canopy/fuse intersection line, and I painted little touchups on the intersection line of the canopy bottom frame where it met the fuse tissue. |

I used white printer paper to cut thin strips for the frames by sizing and recutting and test fitting them over the canopy frame. When they all fit and matched the frame nicely, I traced them onto the back of a Top Flite Trim Sheet (peel 'n stick) - but did not cut them out yet. On the coloured front of the trimsheet, I used the same acrylic paint colors that I mixed up that matched the camo tissue colors, and painted over the whole front of the color side of the trim sheet in the same camo pattern and let it dry. |
