The Avios MiG-17 Fresco is a large 90-millimeter EDF jet made of strong EPO foam with quality scale plastic details and a cockpit with a scale interior. It comes in an eye-catching arctic camouflage scheme that gives a huge presence in the air. This model is different from the rest as it's a classic interceptor from the Vietnam War era.

The Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 (NATO reporting name "Fresco") entered service in 1952. It was a further development of the successful MiG-15 jet fighter from the Korean War. The MiG-17 had major improvements including a new, thinner, and more swept wing and tailplane which allowed the aircraft to reach high subsonic speeds close to Mach 1 (the speed of sound).

The MiG-17 was used during the Vietnam War to intercept bombers and fighter-bombers rather than dogfighting with other fighters. These tactics were effective against the slower, heavily loaded fighter-bombers as they were maneuverable against these types of aircraft. The MiG-17 was later replaced by the MiG-21.

The Avios MiG-17 Fresco captures the looks, style, and rakish lines of the full-size jet beautifully. The color scheme Avios has used is similar to the civilian MIG-17s flown in the United States by the "Black Diamond" Display Team painted in arctic camouflage. The MiG-17 is made of tough, high compression EPO, and pre-painted, but you're expected to apply the decals. The MiG-17 has a pre-installed 90mm 12 bladed fan unit with 3541/1550KV brushless outrunner motor, 100A ESC with 5A UBEC, 12 pre-installed metal geared digital servos, an aluminum retract system, split flaps, air brakes, and LED lighting. All you need is a battery and a 2.4GHz radio system.

The Avios MiG-17 Fresco is the same quality that you have come to expect from Avios and is also very straightforward to build. It can also be easily transported as the wings are easily removable with its quick wing connectors.

You'll enjoy flying the MiG-17 as it has plenty of thrust for some exciting aerobatics and dogfighting. It's fitted with split flaps and speed brakes to ensure a smooth landing.
