Burt, Very nicely done, especially considering that it's not exactly one of HobbyBoss's better kits.

Beautiful "Fresco"! Anybody see the photo of a Cambodian (?) MiG-17 parked next to an F-4D? If I recall, the tiny MiG's loaded weight is less than the weight of an F-4's internal fuel - about the same as a P-38 Lightning!

Nice clean build, looks great. I especially like the look without the panels lines exaggerated.
