1/72 Modelsvit Su-17M3R


Recommended Posts

Wow! What a build! This is my first Modelsvit build and there will be more! So much detail! Takes a bit of work/planning to get everything together but just enough of a challenge to keep me interested. Added Eduard PE, Master Model guns/pitot and Armory wheels. Painted with MRP paint (freehand) and kit decals were used (very nice BTW). Pictured with my Yak-1 and MiG-21 for comparison. She's a big jet! Thanks for looking!

Very nice. A recent delivery of a similar aircraft kit (Su-22M2BR) from Mistercraft showed me how big they were. While the MC kit might not be up to Modelvit standard, a recent build by  @John Masters showed they can come up well, your one provides further inspiration. :)

And an excellent model too.  Nicely done @viperchiefThe Modelsvit kit is surely a better bet than the MC box offerings.  Luckily I have one!

That is superb Rich, very well done buddy.  Some of these early Soviet jets are so brutish looking, they don't fly but actually force their way through the sky, in an angry fashion.....!

 

Nice collection too.

Has to be my most favourite Soviet jet. Its a lovely great chunk of an aeroplane which I was lucky to see flying at the International Air Tattoo a few years ago. Your model is just superb Rich capturing the look of the real aircraft perfectly:like:.  Nice MiG and Yak as well.
