Eduard FE767 Su-7 1/48 SMER – photo-etched detail set for the 1/48 scale Su-7 fighter model

Eduard FE767 is a professional photo-etched set dedicated to the 1/48 scale Su-7 fighter model manufactured by SMER. Produced by the renowned Czech company Eduard, this set significantly increases the realism of the model by highlighting details of the cockpit and other key aircraft components. The photo-etched parts allow for the recreation of even the smallest details, which are difficult to achieve in traditional plastic models.

Historical and technical information about the Su-7

The Sukhoi Su-7 was a Soviet supersonic fighter-bomber, widely used by the USSR and Warsaw Pact countries. The aircraft entered service in the second half of the 1950s and was extensively operated during the Cold War, including by the air forces of Poland, Czechoslovakia, India, and Egypt. The Su-7 proved itself as a close air support aircraft and participated in numerous conflicts, such as the Indo-Pakistani war and Egyptian operations in the Middle East.
