MiG-17APF (Fresco A,B,C) - 23mm Gun Barrels Set & Pitot Tubes
The MiG-17 has two prominent pitot tubes on the wing tips. Inevitably, if you are like me, you will knock off one or both of them. Brass pitot tubes will make this harder to do. Included in this set are two pitot tubes, a two part 37mm cannon barrel, and two 23mm cannon barrels.
The pitot tubes are machined perfectly with the proper taper to the tips.
The 37mm cannon is simply gorgeous. Plastic kit makers can only hint at the cooling jacket for the cannon. Master is able to produce a precision machined cooling jacket and barrel. The barrel simply slides precisely into the jacket. Then just prime and paint. A thing of beauty.
The 23mm cannon barrels are different lengths just like the real thing.
The best part about all these brass pieces is no cleanup. There are no pour stubs. They also don’t have mold lines, which is a Godsend if you ask me. Simply drill the appropriate holes and add CA glue to hold it in place. The strength is an added bonus. All this makes this all the Master products a great addition.
Highly recommended

Reviewer Bio
Floyd S. Werner Jr.
Building models since the age of 7, I’ve become known for my Bf-109s and helicopters. I currently run Werner’s Wings. I was previously the ‘star’ of the Master Class Model Building Video series. I’ve been published numerous times on various website, including Hyperscale and ARC. My work has been in FSM and Great Scale Modeling 2001, as well as, numerous other model magazines. I’m a published author with my Squadron/Signal Walkaround book on the Kiowa Warrior. My models have continuously won many regional and national awards. My unique model photography gives my models instant recognition for their historical perspective.
I’m a retired from the Army after 21 years of flying Cobras and Kiowa Warriors, including tours in Iraq, Bosnia, Korea, and Germany. I’m also a retired Flight Officer for the Baltimore City Police and flew their helicopters chasing bad guys. I’m currently flying Cobras and Hueys with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation.
I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart, Yvonne, for 42 years. Our daughters have blessed us with six grandchildren. My passions continue to be his family, friends, helicopters, models and airplanes, especially the Bf-109 and my beloved AH-1 Cobra. My motto has always been - MODELING IS FUN!
