Zvezda 7002 Russian Supersonic Strategic Bomber Tu-160 (1/144) – Plastic Model Kit

The Zvezda 7002 model kit represents one of the most iconic modern strategic bombers – the Russian Tu-160. Made in the popular 1:144 scale, this model is an impressive miniature of this powerful aircraft, also known as the “White Swan.” The Tu-160 is the fastest and heaviest variable-geometry wing bomber ever to serve. Developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union, it entered service in the late 1980s and remains in use by the Russian Federation’s Aerospace Forces to this day.

The real Tu-160 was designed as a nuclear deterrence weapon during the Cold War period and continues to symbolize the strength of Russian strategic aviation. Aircraft of this type have participated in operations over Syria, demonstrating the strike capabilities of the Russian armed forces.
