Hobby Boss 80336 1/48 MiG-17PF Fresco D Scale Build Kit  [HB-80336]

Scale Model Overview for Hobby Boss 80336 MiG-17PF Fresco D

The MiG-17PF Fresco D represents a key step in Soviet fighter development and the Hobby Boss 80336 captures those elements in miniature. This kit reproduces the longer fuselage, wing fences and swept planform that cured earlier handling quirks.

Service History and Technical Notes

Introduced in the 1950s, the MiG-17 served widely thanks to its VK-1 powerplant and later performance tweaks like afterburning on some marks. The PF version added a fixed-scan radar array to its nose, improving interception duties at night and in poor visibility.

Why Modellers Choose This Kit

The 1/48 scale parts offer crisp detail in the cockpit and radar bay, making the kit ideal for builders who plan painting, weathering and display projects. The kit is designed for straightforward assembly with standard modelling adhesives.
