Recommendation and Difficulty

Eduard 33009 MiG-17 dashboard is a product I sincerely recommend to both advanced modelers and intermediate hobbyists who wish to take their model to a higher level of authenticity. I rate the difficulty at 3/5. Assembly requires precision, patience, and the use of appropriate tools (e.g., tweezers, CA glue), but the final effect fully compensates for the effort. It's an excellent choice for those building large scale models who value faithfully reproduced MiG-17 cockpit interior details.
