1:72 Modelsvit Su-20 Fitter C Iraq


Recommended Posts

The 1:72 Modelsvit kit of the Su-20 built in Iraqi markings from the early stages of the Iran-Iraq war.

 

Since it's a short run kit, it didn't exactly snap together, but nothing that could not be made to fit.

 

Colours used are Model Master 2130 blue on underside, Model Master 1706 sand and Model Master 2081 green on upper side.

 

FAB-250 bombs and tanks are kit parts.

 

Decals are from Linden Hill Decals Iraqi Fighters sheet. While Iraqi decals are included in the kit, they appeared to not be have been printed properly, However I did yse the intake warning decals from the kit.

The Linden Hill decals went on without any issues despite being in multiple parts. Yje green triangles go on first, then the bit in the middle. Wing decals are abgled so that they will point forward when the wings sweep back. The MiG-23 had the markings painted the same way on the wings.
