The MiG-17 PFU (NATO designation: Fresco E) is a Soviet interceptor fighter that debuted in the late 1950s as a development of the MiG-17 series. It was used by the USSR and other Warsaw Pact countries, as well as exported to the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. It saw the most intensive use during the Cold War, particularly in regional conflicts and in the defense of socialist countries' borders. The PFU version stood out for its radar equipment and the ability to carry RS-2U air-to-air guided missiles, greatly enhancing its interception capabilities in the jet age.

The Hobby Boss 80337 model features an accurate reproduction of the fuselage contours, detailed cockpit with instrument panel, clearly depicted panel lines, and the option to open the canopy. The manufacturer also ensured faithful representations of radars and missile launchers, while optional elements let you build the aircraft in various armament configurations. This product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers due to the number of details and the potential for part customization.
