AMMO of Mig Jimenez 20908 ATOM MIG-17 Polish Air Force Colors Set 6x20ml is a professional set of acrylic model paints designed for military aviation enthusiasts, particularly lovers of Polish aviation from the Cold War era. This set has been meticulously developed to faithfully replicate the historical paint schemes of the MiG-17 fighter aircraft (the Polish license-built Lim-5 version), which played a key role in the Air Forces of the People's Republic of Poland from the 1950s onwards. The MiG-17 aircraft was used by Poland and other Warsaw Pact countries during the Cold War, renowned for its excellent maneuverability and durability under harsh combat conditions.

Historical period: Cold War (1956–1981)
Country of use: Poland

The set includes 6 unique, carefully selected colors:

• ATOM-20051 Earth – perfect for earthy camouflage elements
• ATOM-20076 IJA Nakajima Green – replicates the green used on the dorsal surfaces of the aircraft
• ATOM-20121 Air Superiority Blue – color of the underside of the airframe
• ATOM-20122 Light Blue – for lightened surface variants
• ATOM-20134 Blue Gray – for shading and adding realism to paintwork
• ATOM-20166 METALLIC Steel – creates a metallic sheen effect on details

The paints are water-based and feature a unique hybrid formula, combining fast drying, excellent coverage, and self-leveling properties—qualities typical of premium products. Thanks to transparent 20ml bottles with innovative twist caps, working with the paints is even more convenient and ergonomic. The set falls into the category of acrylic paints for plastic models; they are compatible with both brushes and airbrushes. For best results, it is recommended to use the dedicated ATOM Cleaner & Thinner.

Our recommendation: This product is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who expect precision, color depth, and resistance to further modeling steps such as decal application and weathering. Perfect for building model aircraft in 1/48, 1/72, and 1/32 scale, especially MiG-17 / Lim-5 with Polish markings.
