1/72 Su-17M by Modelsvit


Recommended Posts

Let's hope it is an accurate Fitter. That would be a start because the subject is rather overlooked by the kit manufacturers; the stuff that is out there is horrible (1/48 Kopro for example).

Good news, new Fitters are more than welcome addition. Has the -M2 been announced? Modelsvit released Su-7IG a while ago but I would also prefer the newer variants.

The Russian review shows that for this new kit completely new parts were designed. It is an interesting subject and it was about time that someone did a kit of it. As to the quality we will have to see when it is in hands, it is difficult to say anything based on the photos.

Here is a look into the box of the Moldelsvit Su-17M. I would say that the plastic parts look very good if you take into account that this is just a limited run kit. There are very fine engraved lines, clearly drawn on the surface. Some fascinating solutions and a lot of fine details.

Well lets have a look at it:

The biggest parts of course are those of the fuselage and the wings

Here is the canopy, I know it is in one part, but I think it is good as it is.

There are two sets of decals to go with the kit and they are very nice

A closer look at the different parts. As said before I like the surface details, they are very nice. This is the first kit that I have from Modelsvit, based on its quality I am thinking about getting some of the earlier kits they made of the Sukhoi family of strike fighters.

Here is the top side of the wing, the non moving part of it.

A bit more, at an angle this time to show better the surface details

Still more of the same area

Here is the fin

and once again at an angle to show better the some of the details

I like the way they have added some detail to the nose undercarriage side walls and at the same time also to the cockpit walls and to finish it of the part also serves as intake wall.
