Hobby Boss 80336 1/48 MiG-17PF Fresco D - Cold War Scale Replica

The MiG-17PF Fresco D is a classic Cold War interceptor and this Hobby Boss 80336 kit recreates its key features in 1/48 scale. The model highlights the MiG's extended fuselage, wing fences, and swept wings that improved stability over earlier designs.

Development Background and Airframe Features

Entering service in the early 1950s, the MiG-17 evolved from the MiG-15 with upgrades such as the VK-1 turbojet and later afterburner-equipped versions. The PF variant added fixed-scan radar to improve interception capability and situational awareness.

Model Building Appeal

This 1/48 kit includes finely moulded parts and realistic cockpit and radar components, making it suitable for display builds and detailed dioramas. Builders will find the parts fit and surface detail well suited to moderate finishing work.
