Print Scale 48-017 Decal MIG-17 Fresco Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-017 Waterslide Decals are made for 1:48 scale models of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 “Fresco” (Part 2). The sheet focuses on MiG-17 / MiG-17F aircraft with different national insignia and code styles, as well as a dedicated section of MiG-17 technical stenciling for a more complete finish.

The marking options span multiple operators and locations, with aircraft identities dated from the late 1960s through the early 1980s. This variety is useful when you want different roundel systems, tail numbers, and emblem layouts while staying within the same MiG-17 family and airframe geometry.

The MiG-17 is a classic early Cold War jet fighter, and its markings often rely on bold roundels and large side numbers that are very visible in 1:48 scale. Several options in this set also include distinctive nose or unit-style symbols that can become focal points of the completed model.

For modelers, this release helps avoid masking or custom printing for repeated insignia and small data markings. It is listed as universal and can be applied to any compatible 1:48 scale MiG-17 / MiG-17F plastic model kit. Due to the amount of stencil data and multi-position markings across wings and fuselage, it is typically better suited to advanced builders.
