This wheel set is dedicated to models in the popular 1/72 scale, making it significantly easier to enhance the realism and detail of your Soviet aircraft replica.

Construction and Material: The wheels are made from the highest quality resin, accurately reproducing even the finest details—from the tire tread, to the bolts, and the characteristic Su-17 wheel rim notches. Precise casting technology provides parts free of distortions sometimes found in plastic sets. This is an invaluable advantage for modelers seeking maximum realism. The set includes both the main landing gear wheels and the nose wheel.

Historical Background: The Su-17 (Su-22 in its export version) is a Soviet ground-attack fighter-bomber that entered service in the late 1960s—the Cold War era. The primary user was the USSR, as well as many Eastern Bloc and developing countries. The Su-17 saw widespread use in, among others, conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan. The aircraft’s excellent component durability, including the landing gear, allowed it to operate from unpaved runways and in difficult climatic conditions.
