Yak-17 Soviet jet fighter Scale 1:72 Amodel AMO7224 Plastic Airplane Model Kit

Yakovlev Yak-17 aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents an early Soviet jet fighter developed in the immediate post–World War II period as part of the transition from piston-engine to jet-powered combat aircraft.

The Yak-17 was an improved development of the Yak-15, featuring a tricycle landing gear that significantly enhanced ground handling and pilot training safety. This design change marked an important step in adapting jet fighters to modern operational standards.

Entering service in the late 1940s, the Yak-17 was used primarily for fighter operations and pilot conversion training within the Soviet Air Forces. Although produced in limited numbers and soon replaced by more advanced jet fighters, it played a key role in establishing jet aviation in the early Cold War era.

This plastic model kit is produced by AMODEL and accurately represents the standard Yakovlev Yak-17 fighter configuration. The model belongs to the Aircraft Model Kits category and is manufactured in 1:72 scale, making it suitable for early jet and post-war Soviet aviation collections.
