Lightningboy2000 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 My eleventh build of the year comes in the shape of this German Air Force WTD.61 Sukhoi Su-22 M4 30918 98+14. This was known as the official "Last Flight Su-22" which had its service life extended in order for its last flight to RAF Scampton where it currently resides. 1/72 Bilek/Italeri kit. Pavla cockpit & Canopy. Airwaves etch. Scale Aircraft Conversions landing gear. Armory resin wheels. Master brass pitot probes & gun barrels Hi Decal & Propagteam decals. Ammo Mig, Hataka & Vallejo acrylics. Also many thanks to Andre "Hook" for the Aphid missiles & rails. Thanks for looking! Martin 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Great looking model! I've always thought the SU-22 was a good looking airplane. You've done justice to the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Lovely job & a great scheme. The East German camo is very attractive to my mind, you have caught it well. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Very nice result! This jet wad extensively tested by the Luftwaffe as far as I understand! Does it still exist in this scheme? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a paint set for the Su-22 assuming they were correct, but obviously found they were only for anything East of the old Iron Curtain.

It is still at Scampton Lincolnshire with Hawker Hunter Aviation in these markings. I've been told that it & their Buccaneer is in very good condition.
