Cobi Fighter Plane Kit MIG-17 Fresco

The MIG-17 is a Soviet fighter aircraft that served in the air forces of 40 countries around the world, becoming one of the symbols of the Cold War. The aircraft was built in 1949, with production starting shortly thereafter. It was a single-seat, single-engine mid-wing aircraft with an all-metal structure made of duralumin and swept wings. A distinctive feature was the three air deflectors located on each wing. At the front of the aircraft was an air intake for the engine, which was divided into two channels along the sides by a vertical partition. The cockpit was glassed and airtight, equipped with a retractable seat. The propulsion was provided by a single turbojet engine located at the rear.

The standard armament included two 23-mm NR-23 cannons (each with 80 rounds) and a 37-mm N-37D cannon (40 rounds). The aircraft could also carry bombs interchangeably with additional fuel tanks. This highly popular and successful design has had many development versions. The MIG-17, under the name LIM-5, was also produced in Poland starting in 1956.

The MIG-17 model is designed at a scale of 1:32 and consists of 568 high-quality elements. All markings, emblems, and inscriptions on the model are prints that do not wear off during use. The set features movable elements such as wheels and an opening cockpit, where a great pilot figure can be placed. The camouflage reproduced from the blocks is particularly beautiful. The set includes a display stand with a plaque featuring the name of the set and the nationality insignia. Thanks to the intuitive instructions with clear symbols, assembly is straightforward. The aircraft is a must-have for all aviation, military, and military technology enthusiasts. It is also a perfect addition to collections related to armed forces, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and more.
