Airfix A03091 Mig 17F

Airfix seemed to have got their act together. The pieces go together well. The instructions still seem a bit basic and there can be confusing between the paint numbers (for internal parts) and part numbers.

Airfix always make great models. And this is no exception. It is well made, the parts easy to assemble The whole thing is Fun to make. The plane an important part of history.

These New Airfix kits are really nice, the fit of the parts is really good. Do take a bit of care with the cockpit sidewalls ,the cockpit itself is nicely detailed, with decals for the instrumentation although no pilot is supplied. Don't forget to open the underfuselage holes for the belly tank(like I did). Be careful separating the undercarriage parts from the sprues as some of the pieces are quite delicate, they are, however, sturdy enough to support the airframe. The whole airframe goes together quite nicely, with minimal use of filler, but be careful with aligning the tail planes. Two colour schemes are provided for and there is a separate guide showing the position of the stencilling. I gave this five stars because I enjoyed the building of this kit and I am pleased with the end result.

My son is at an age where he wants clothes or money for Christmas and this year he wanted something he could open and create. Some kits come with paint but some don't so be careful when choosing! Luckily he had other kits that did have paint he could use. He found them really rewarding to make. They can be a bit fiddly but if you're creative and good at making things this shouldn't present a problem.

One of his favourite aicraft from his RAF days. Really enjoyed it, and looks good.

Perfect kit

The photos show it on a stand and as I’ve got other models that came with stands I had no reason to think it wouldn’t, I was very disappointed to see it came without a stand and wouldn’t have purchased it if I had known

thank you

組み立てはとくに問題無いですね。 まあ、エアフィックスだからこんなもんじゃないかと。（これがタミヤとかハセガワの製品だったらクレームつける人もいるかも） あとけっこうマイナーな機体なので資料を探すのは大変かも。 たぶんキットは偵察型の機体なので機首のカメラ部分（？）と機体下面の電子機器用（？）のふくらみは再現されてますが、翼下のパイロンやミサイルなどのアクセサリーパーツはありません。

Livraison rapide, modèle très satisfaisant. Prix abordable.

Prima model.

Great Kit!

Pocas piezas, pero con gran detalle. Los paneles están bien grabados y las decals son resistentes y bien impresas. Sólo se debe tener mucho cuidado al armar la nariz, ya que debes ponerle un buen contrapeso (el instructivo dice 20 gramos) y el espacio para hacerlo es muy pequeño. Fuera de esto, es un modelo ideal para los que inician.
