Hobby Boss 80336 1/48 MiG-17PF Fresco D - Scale Interceptor Kit

This Hobby Boss 80336 1/48 kit captures the MiG-17PF Fresco D, a Cold War era interceptor notable for its swept wing and refined fuselage. The kit emphasises the structural changes that improved handling over earlier designs.

Operational Role and Key Upgrades

Fielded in the 1950s, the MiG-17 became widely used due to reliable turbojet power and incremental upgrades including afterburning variants. The PF variant was fitted with a nose radar installation, enhancing night and all-weather interception capability.

Suitability for Scale Projects

With precise moulding and clear cockpit components, this 1/48 kit suits builders wanting a realistic static model. It lends itself to paint work and light weathering for a convincing finished display.
