Description
Up for sale is a brand new 1/72 Syrian Air Force Mikoyan Mig-17 “Fresco-C” (HA5912) by Hobby Master.
The Soviet built Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 (Fresco) was initially called the MiG-15bis+45° and completed its maiden flight on January 13, 1950 and entered service in 1952. There were five variants of the MiG-17 with the MiG-17F (Fresco C) becoming the main variant. The new Klimov VK-1F engine was the first Soviet built engine with an afterburner and variable nozzle. The installation of this new engine gave the MiG-17F double the rate of climb of previous variants. This aircraft lacked radar and was purely a day-time fighter.
Syria was one of several middle eastern nations who chose Soviet aircraft to equip there air forces with the Mig-17 being an early example.
This model aircraft is made from die-cast metal and includes extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Corgi, Gemini Jets, JC Wings, Witty Wings, Century Wings, NG Models and Aviation72.
