Armory Models AW48007 Sukhoj Su-7BKL wheels 1/48 – Detailed Resin Wheel Set

The Armory Models AW48007 Sukhoj Su-7BKL wheels 1/48 set offers precise resin wheels for the model of one of the most important Soviet fighter-bombers of the Cold War era – the Su-7BKL. This set is designed for modelers seeking to elevate the level of detail of their builds beyond the standard provided by factory plastic kits.

The Sukhoj Su-7BKL is a variant of the famous supersonic Su-7 fighter-bomber, designed by the Sukhoi OKB bureau in the Soviet Union. This aircraft entered the USSR’s arsenal in the 1960s and remained in service until the early 1980s, forming the backbone of Warsaw Pact front-line aviation. Su-7 aircraft, including the BKL variant, were widely used by countries such as Poland, India, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, and Afghanistan, where they played a significant role during local conflicts such as the Yom Kippur War.

The Su-7BKL version, unlike the base models, was equipped with specialized reinforced landing gear, allowing take-offs and landings from unpaved runways, as well as additional features like rocket pods. The wheels in this model set from Armory Models have been reproduced based on technical documentation and archival photographs, ensuring outstanding historical accuracy and intricate detailing, right down to the fine tread and rim details.
