Eduard EX551 Su-17 M3/M4 KITTY HAWK 1/48 – Paint Mask

The Eduard EX551 Su-17 M3/M4 KITTY HAWK 1/48 product is a high-quality set of masks dedicated to the 1:48 scale plastic aircraft model Su-17 M3/M4 by KITTY HAWK. This set has been precisely designed by the renowned Czech company Eduard, known for its innovative and precision modeling accessories that significantly facilitate and improve the process of painting aircraft models.

The Su-17 (NATO designation: Fitter) was a Soviet-made supersonic attack aircraft. The M3 and M4 versions are the most advanced development variants of this machine, used mainly by the Soviet Union and its satellite states, as well as exported to many Eastern Bloc countries and Middle Eastern nations. These aircraft participated, among others, in conflicts in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and performed key battlefield support missions during the Cold War period (from the 1970s to the end of the 20th century).
