loks good though, maybe a small wash to accent the panellines?

Not bad for such an ugly pack of sprues. As it's brush painted and mostly has raised lines, I would recommend accenting the lines with a pencil - easy to correct just in case...
Ah and this version is just known as MiG-17PF (no slash needed).

Still, good result.

Hello Bart, Lukasz, Ekki, Thank you for your posts. The plastyk kit is indeed an ugly pack of sprues which I spent far too much time sanding, correcting, painting. It could be better but I'm done with this kit! because it was too much work. Will do accent panel lines in another next model. I am building a MiG-15 UTI from KP which is almost as bad as this, so will try there.

You'd better throw that UTI into the trash bin and get either HB (for a quick build) or an Eduard set 😉

Thanks, but I'll do an HB when I get better. I am not throwing money in the trash, I will finish it and it will give me practice, even if it doesn't get that great. I find interesting building these kits also because they are older and below today standards, they remind me of other times. I imagine eduard is very good but it is probably to complicated for me, even with these simple kits it takes me months to finish one, mostly because I can't spare the time to model every day, and also because sometimes I don't feel like doing it.
