Airfix #A20185 1/72 MiG-17F Fresco & Douglas A4B Skyhawk-Dog Fight Doubles
Armed with cannons, bombs and unguided missiles, the little A4 Skyhawks would skim across the rice paddies and hug the densely forested mountains of Vietnam in the early days of the Vietnam war of the 1960s. Against them ranged small arms fire, artillery, guided surface to air missiles and MiG’s of the North Vietnamese Air Force. Alongside the supersonic MiG-21 was the older subsonic MiG-17F. This aircraft, codenamed Fresco, was a very maneuverable opponent, and certainly a match for the Skyhawk. Between them, they formed the backbone of the air war over Vietnam. This fantastic model has been created using the Airfix advanced CAD design used on all the new models, and we think you’ll agree the results are stunning!
All Airfix gift sets come with a selection of paints as well as a brush and glue.
