Mfg: Airfix, 1/48 Scale, Kit No.: A03091, Released: 2019 New Tool

The MiG-17 was designed to perform the role of bomber killer and was never intended as a dog fighter. Its exceptional agility would allow this aircraft to score combat victories over much heavier and more modern American designs. The USAF dismissed the aircraft as nothing more than an upgraded MiG-15. However, the Vietnam War proved to be something of a sobering experience for USAF pilots. Some of their most modern aircraft would fall victim to the guns of the MiG-17. Lighter and much more maneuverable than the US aircraft, the subsonic MiG-17 would claim victories over such aircraft as the F-105 Thunderchief and McDonnell Douglas Phantoms.
