It features a detailed model of the Soviet Su-17M3 attack-fighter aircraft in the popular 1/72 scale, allowing you to recreate one of the most recognizable battlefield machines of the Cold War era.

The original Sukhoi Su-17M3 (NATO codename: Fitter-H) was a developed version of the Su-17, the first Soviet fighter-bomber with variable-geometry wings. This aircraft entered service in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and played a significant role in conflicts in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Angola. The aircraft was actively used by the air forces of many Warsaw Pact countries, Arab states, Peru, Angola, and post-Soviet republics, serving well into the 21st century.
