About product

MiG-17PF Fresco D 1:48 (Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet MiG-17PF interceptor in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. It is a compact model with finely engraved surfaces, clear plastic for the canopy glazing and decals for several marking options. The PF version, Fresco D in the NATO reporting system, was fitted with radar, which the kit captures in the characteristic shape of the intake with its radar housing.

The real subject

The MiG-17 was a Soviet subsonic jet fighter that followed on from the famous MiG-15 and brought a reworked, more sharply swept wing. The MiG-17PF version was an all-weather interceptor fitted with an onboard radar for night and poor weather conditions, which sets it apart from the day variants. The aircraft spread to many countries in versions with and without radar and was also built under license outside the Soviet Union.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic, and glue the clear parts with cyanoacrylate or a special canopy glue. Finish and paint the cockpit before you close the fuselage up. Lay down a primer before painting and apply the paints with an airbrush. On natural metal schemes, metalizer paints laid on a smooth, polished surface work well; paint the radar housing at the front of the intake to match the subject.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Cold War jet fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Fans of Soviet aviation and of the MiG-15 and MiG-17 family
  • Modelers looking for a compact model with an easier build
  • Anyone interested in the radar-equipped PF interceptor version

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The PF version was an all-weather interceptor fitted with an onboard radar for use at night and in poor weather. You can tell it by the modified intake with its radar housing, unlike the day variants without radar.

Fresco is the NATO reporting name of the MiG-17 aircraft. The letter D corresponds to the radar-equipped PF version.

Yes, it is a compact model with a reasonable number of parts that a less experienced modeler can manage. It is worth finishing the cockpit before the fuselage is closed up.
