While replacement is sent and production completed it will take at least a month for these to be back in Lima in order to complete the packages and begin shipping placed orders. Therefore I ask you to wait a bit more and, as compensation for those affected by the unexpected -and unintentional- delay, I will be shipping along all Su-17M2 pre-orders (AND orders of this item placed untill SEPTEMBER 1) a FREE 1/48 Su-17/22 resin wheel set. If you are not willing to wait, please send me an e-mail and I shall refund you. Best wishes from Lima Source: https://www.facebook.com/VespaModelKits/posts/pfbid02RrfMcRXMtL4jH1uSuUYZNQCYaQk6vS8Hk52K4DZc8tzAiT6c9baJRaLDug5wf1ihl Sukhoi Su-17M2 instrument panel V.P. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SprueMan Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) It would be nice if someone made a SU-17M conversion. All it needs is a new fuselage, which is just a pipe with surface details. Edit: ok, outer wings too, if you cannot spare the putty.

There also was the Su-17... with the Al-7? And the Su-20... also basically pipes (not sticks! 😉) with swing wings.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used in USSR in Afghanistan but also in Warsaw pact and exported to Iraq and Libya (?) The only real difference from the SU-17M2 (I think) is the outer wings with no outer flaps and the shorter, thicker nose with no ECM warning (similar to SU-17M3 and M4 (called SU-22M3 and M4 in export) 3 minutes ago, AmaruTG said: Shorter noses as well.
