Who asked for a new 1/72 Su-7 ?


Recommended Posts

I'm no Su-7 expert but one of you may be. Is the BMK externally different from the BM ?

Roughly:

- The Su-7 BM was the first operational version.

- The Su-7 BMK had a brake chute fairing under the tail (and a rear view mirror on the top of the canopy).

- The Su-7 BKL had an undercarriage equipped with additional skis for operations from grass surfaces

Damn. Nothing "exotic" can be done then. Only Soviet or Warsaw Pact birds. Unless the sprues contain the brake chute fairing.

<br>^ According to Hobbyterra, there will be both a Su-7BK (<a href="http://hobbyterra.com/product_info.php?products_id=354" class="bbc_url" title="External link" rel="nofollow external">LINK</a>) and a Su-7BM (<a href="http://hobbyterra.com/product_info.php?products_id=353" class="bbc_url" title="External link" rel="nofollow external">LINK</a>).<br>
<div>I've never heard of a BK version. BKL yes, BMK yes but BK no.<br><br><br>

Plus......

The BMK had a bigger nosewheel than the BM - with a corresponding bulged nosewheel door.

Su-7B.....

Su-7BM - addition of external ducts on upper fuselage.....

Su-7BMK - bigger nosewheel + brake parachute fairing at base of fin.....

Su-7BKL - skis on mainwheels.....

You could always do the one-off Su-7 equipped with skis only....

Hopefully this kit turns out to be a good one, and they do a BKL version. I've wanted to model the Algerian bird from Diego's Hi Decal sheet for a long time ;0) Fred K.

Thanks ! smooth IPs but the detailing of the cockpit walls look nice. It seems likely that the guy who made the master is the one who made the masters for the Amodel Su-9/11. Seat and cockpit side + wheel wheel walls suggest this (have a look at the photos in this French Su-9 review).

Probably same guy that did Yak-1B and Amodel kits, his "nick" is Master44 iirc.

I'd say that "Master 44" is some kind of cooperative company that tools the molds but that the masters are made by different guys (one or several WW2 guys, one of several jet guys). It would be nice to clarify what's the "Master 44" thing. Is there anything about that in Russian forums ?
