It probably is. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-10833-tupolev-tu-144d--1250987

Only C7 had names.

Would you expect a "greener" color? It was used on some C2 variants and on F-4s and A-4s. This one is C7 which has the new camouflage with this "minty" green as F-15I and F-16C/D/I. These are C2s. Here is the link to my model, won't post pics here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskU7FwvK Bad luck maybe. I haven't had any of these issues with AMK kit. Very simple straightforward assembly and great fit.

IIRC, US customs doesn't care about small shipments, like less than $800.

Guys, with all due respect I suggest to take your "razborki" to private place.

And here is MiG-29, same type of mechanism.

I should have used [sarcasm] tags...

Have I missed an announcement of best Su-17 kit ever?

Hobby Lobby sells some of them.

The shape is the same on all kits in 1/32 and 1/48. Even new MiG-29C has exactly the same sprues. 1/48 looks like a scaled down version. 29M/K missile sprues are the same as in Su-27, I have them all and built Su-27 and MiG-29K.

This is a lost hope I think. Just look on their ridiculous Russian missiles (R-27 especially) carried from kit to kit for a very long time.

Shoot me a PM with parts numbers, I might have them.
