Shenyang F5A/Mig17 PF Single-Seat Chinese Fighter

There does not seem to be a lot of parts in this kit. It is pretty simple and seems to be an almost direct copy of the MiG-15 kit. Same engineering and look and feel. It even has the rough texture the MiG-15 has. I DO plan to buy this kit again to practice painting and detailing due to the fact that it is inexpensive and seems to fit well. The panel lines are nice and sharp as well. I would recommend this kit, especially to a newbie.

Another nice offering from Trumpeter.It too suffers from the problems of the other earlier 1/32 Mig offering from Trumpeter,Lack of cockpit detail.Which is easeily remeded with the addition of the Eduard Mig 17 photo etch detail set.This kit like the others offers a nicely detailed engine and dolly to display the engine should one so choose.Surface detail is nice offering recessed panel and rivet details.The decal sheet is of good quality but again only offers markings for a Chinese aircraft.Therefore if any other aircraft is to be modeled you will have to purchase an aftermarket sheet.I believe these were the first 1/32 scale offerings from Trumpeter. So lacking some of the refinements of the later 1/32 scale offerings, this kit can be built into a very nice looking model. I would recommend this kit,Especially for the price.

A little old kit but best big size mig ever... Very detailed and nice much much better than expected
