The Tu-22 aircraft, NATO code “Blinder”, was the first Soviet supersonic bomber with a delta wing configuration. Introduced into service in the 1960s, it was stationed at numerous Soviet bases and took part in many training and combat missions. It was especially extensively used during the period of Cold War tensions in Europe and Asia, where it served in deterrence and strategic support roles.

The Eduard 72694 Tu-22 exterior set includes richly detailed elements such as landing gear covers, service panels, exhausts, antennas, ventilator grilles, and other key details that are often simplified or missing on plastic models. With these parts, you will significantly enhance the external appearance of the bomber, giving it a character faithful to the original. Every part has been carefully designed for ease of application and proper fit to the specific Trumpeter kit, and the clear instructions help with the implementation of even advanced elements.

We recommend this product to experienced modelers (difficulty level: 4/5) who want to build an accurate replica of the Tu-22 and value the highest level of detail and exquisite workmanship. The Eduard photo-etched set is an ideal choice for contest dioramas, themed Soviet aviation collections, and ambitious modeling projects. It is an investment that will visibly increase the value and realism of your model.
