This brand new plastic model kit features the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17F "Fresco" Fighter Aircraft with two scheme options at Level 2 in 1/72 scale, produced by Airfix. The kit comes in vintage-style, officially licensed packaging and contains 84 detailed parts molded primarily in light gray, unless otherwise indicated. A display stand is not included, and paint and cement are required for assembly. Decals are provided to create two different schemes, with the assembled model measuring approximately 6.125 inches in length and 5.25 inches in wingspan. The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17F 'Fresco' was a distinguished jet fighter developed by the Soviet Union as an improvement over the MiG-15, featuring a sharper swept wing and an afterburner-equipped engine that enhanced speed and combat performance. Entering service in the mid-1950s, it became a mainstay in the air forces of many Warsaw Pact and allied nations, seeing extensive action in conflicts such as the Vietnam War, where North Vietnamese pilots engaged in dogfights with American F-4 Phantoms and F-105 Thunderchiefs. Despite being technologically inferior to some modern jets, the MiG-17F’s agility, small size, and robust design allowed pilots to achieve numerous aerial victories. It also saw action in the Middle East during the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War, serving with Egyptian and Syrian forces in combat against Israeli aircraft and performing ground-attack and defensive missions. Its rugged construction and straightforward design made it resilient and easy to maintain, ensuring its continued operational use well into the late 20th century. This 1:72 scale model meticulously captures the MiG-17F’s design and historical significance, offering aviation enthusiasts and collectors a finely crafted tribute to its enduring legacy and impact on Cold War aerial combat.
