Modelsvit 72058 Su-17M4R Ukrainian A.F. 1/72 is an extremely precise plastic model kit representing the Su-17M4R reconnaissance aircraft in the markings of the Ukrainian Air Force. This 1/72 scale set is designed for both aviation modeling enthusiasts and collectors of modern Eastern European military aircraft.

The Su-17M4R is a specialized version of the Su-17 fighter-bomber manufactured by the Sukhoi Design Bureau (USSR). The "M4R" version was used for reconnaissance missions, being equipped with optical and electronic reconnaissance equipment. This aircraft was operated by the air forces of many former Eastern Bloc countries, including Ukraine – from the dissolution of the USSR, throughout the 1990s, and into the early 21st century, making it an aircraft used during both the Cold War and in modern times. It was mainly employed for reconnaissance, patrol, and support of contemporary military operations, for example during monitoring and reconnaissance missions over the Donbas region.

Modelsvit ensured the highest level of detail reproduction – you will find carefully executed, deep panel lines, intricately rendered cockpit, realistic landing gear, and a set of reconnaissance and armament equipment characteristic of the M4R version (including tanks, pods, and antennas). The model is made from high-quality plastic, with parts that fit together very precisely, minimizing the need for adjustments during assembly. The set also includes decals with a full set of Ukrainian Air Force markings, as well as transparent elements for the cockpit and external windows.
