The model depicts the Soviet MiG-17 jet fighter, designated by NATO as “Fresco-A”. This aircraft was a development of the well-known MiG-15 and was designed in the late 1940s. The prototype's maiden flight took place in 1950, and production aircraft began entering service in operational units from 1952. The MiG-17 gained immense popularity and was operated by over 30 countries on several continents, including the USSR, Poland (produced as the Lim-5), China (license-built as J-5 and JJ-5), Middle Eastern countries, and nations in Africa and Asia. In many air forces, it was in service from the Cold War era through modern times and is still operated today, for example by North Korea's air force. The MiG-17 took part in numerous conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Arab-Israeli wars, and other clashes in the second half of the twentieth century.
