This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.
Adapted from the Mig Jimenez website:
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 was one of the most iconic post-WWII Soviet fighter aircraft. It was the second jet fighter produced by the Soviet Union, following the MiG-15, and preceding other renowned Soviet fighters such as the MiG-19 and MiG-21. The overall design was based on the MiG-15, and featured new wings, a 20-percent longer fuselage, and a more powerful VK-1 engine, incorporating an afterburner in the F variant. The MiG-17 entered service in 1951 with the initial MiG-17A model (NATO designation: Fresco A), and was followed two years later, in 1953, by the MiG-17B (Fresco B). This was then followed by the most widespread and well-known variant, the MiG-17F (Fresco C).
The MiG-17F is one of the most iconic aircraft of the Cold War. It was one of the most widely used aircraft of the period, being produced by a number of countries. It was licensed in Poland under the designation Lim-5, and in China under the designation Shenyang J-5.
This model kit from Ammo by Mig Jimenez is a new mold! It allows you to build both the Soviet Union's MiG-17F and the Polish-made version, the Lim-5, used by the German Democratic Republic during the Cold War. The interior of the afterburner is highly detailed, and the undercarriage and landing gear are also well detailed. The flaps, ailerons, and air brakes are all positionable, and external fuel tanks are included.
In addition to the above, this Premium Edition includes canopy masks by Ginger Cat, Red Fox Studio 3D instrument panels, and a 3D-printed resin set including an ejector seat, two rocket launchers with pylons, a ladder, and a pilot's helmet. Order yours today!
