Nice work on this.  I've had MiGs on my mind since recently acquiring the Wings
Over Vietnam video game.  I've built Bryce Rollin's A7 and MiG 21 in ABS, but
have been thinking about an earlier type MiG 17 build since they were so
prevalent at the onset of that conflict.

Neat bit of history on the evolution of the captured Ta-183 plans influencing
the MiG 15.  If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to have a copy of the DAT file.
