| The Kit: Having decided to build a Mig-17 it was just a case of deciding which make and what mark. When the Hasegawa kit came up on the web at a good price it seemed an obvious choice. Having checked out an old Hasegawa catalogue I discovered it was the radar equipped Mig-17. Not in my opinion the best looking of the 17�s but I decided to go for it anyway. |

| In the box you get three sprues of parts. The canopy is separate and looks the part. The detail is mainly raised lines and lots of rivets. A pilot figure is included which for me is a bonus as I like to model my aircraft fully crewed. The kit dates back to at least the early 70�s and looks detailed for the time. The decals are for a USSR and Czech air force aircraft, though due to their age I have decided to use some after market decals. |
 |
| Conclusion: Although one of Hasegawas oldies it looks like it will make into an accurate looking Mig-17. I have opted to build mine, after much research, as an Egyptian Air Force example using Hi-Decal decals. I hope to include a mini build review in the future. |
