The MiG-17 is a legendary Soviet jet fighter designed by the Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau in the late 1940s. This iconic aircraft became one of the most widely used fighter jets globally, evolving from the earlier MiG-15 model through advanced modifications.

This scale model captures the essence of the MiG-17, featuring its classic design with a single engine in the tail section, swept wings, and standard configuration. The MiG-17 also laid the foundation for the first Soviet interceptor, the MiG-17PFU, armed with four air-to-air missiles.
