The Avios MiG-17 Fresco is a large 90mm 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 and is a classic interceptor from the Vietnam War period.


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 era. It had large improvements made including a new, thinner, and with more sweep to the wing and tailplane which allowed the aircraft to reach high subsonic speeds close to Mach 1 (the speed of sound) in level flight.


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


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 that for the civilian MIG-17s flown in the United States by the "Black Diamond" Display Team and they paint their aircraft in arctic camouflage. The MIG-17 is made of tough, high compression EPO and is supplied ready painted but you are required to apply the decals yourself. As this MiG-17 is the KIT version you can fit it out with all your own gear.


The Avios MIG-17 Fresco is the same quality that you have come to expect from the Avios brand and is also very straightforward to build due to the low parts count. For a large aircraft, it can also be easily transported as the wings can easily be removed due to the quick wing connectors.


You will enjoy flying the MiG-17 as it has plenty of thrust for some exciting aerobatics and dogfighting. To ensure you come back to earth with ease it is fitted with split flaps and speed brakes for an easy landing.


Features:
• Tough EPO foam construction with scale molded plastic details
• Cockpit with scale details
• Ball-link controls for precision

• Functional rear air-brakes
• Easy to fit water slide decals
• Easy assembly with bolt-together components

Mig-17 Kit

Nov 17, 2021

Quality foam with every piece of hardware required supplied in named bags. Landing gear not included.
Caution, check every panel join and remove sticky tape before gluing. There is a panel in the nose gear bay that must be glued.
Over priced, not much more to purchase the PNP version.

Basic kit

May 13, 2021

This is the basic, foam aircraft with no internal parts. I thought that I was ordering the entire, ready to fly unit, but that was my mistake. I had crashed a previous ARF kit, so I just transferred the ESC, motor, servos and retracts to the new kit.

Good For Parts

Jun 09, 2020

The kit quality is good but to complete it you will need items that cannot be purchased through HK thus making the model good for parts only. For instance, the canopy latch is not in the kit, the nose gear metal support is not included as well BUT can be purchased and should be included. Little incidentals that most kits come with this does not.
I bought the "kit" version because I had a fan unit and esc to install in it. In retrospect I should of bought the ARF because I would have been flying it by now instead of the kit now sitting in my closet because I have now lost interest in it.
I have now posted a "wanted" thread on one of the RC forums in hopes to get the needed parts to complete the model hopefully in the future. So far no luck.
I would also hope HK posts this so that potential customers are aware of the shortcomings of this kit. I still would love to have the model but when I get the funds I will buy the ARF. I would like HK to give me a discount for a new ARF kit.

Not Worth It

Jun 07, 2020

Not enough of the right parts to make it a complete flyer i.e. canopy latch which you cannot buy, and metal nose gear support which should be included in the "kit" but isn't.

Avios Mig 17 kit version

Feb 21, 2020

As a kit version is not a good value. too many parts not included and not listed as spares. Nose gear on back order after notification of being back in stock. The ARF version would be a much better deal if available. I would buy one again.
