Pete in a shed Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hello all, this is the last of the three builds I’ve had on the go over the last few weeks (F-86D, TF-104G, Su-17). The aircraft was designed in the 1960’s to be an improvement on the earlier SU-7. In fact the early Su-17 was pretty well an Su-7 with swing wings fitted to it. The kit is short run and took quite a bit of cleaning up before the parts would fit well. It’s straight out of the box and is finished using my usual metallic paints of choice, Humbrol 27002 and 27003.with a sealing coat of satin Xtracolor varnish, Without further ado, here are some pics. Thanks for looking Pete 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantherhawk27263 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Nice work, Pete!! I've wanted one of these for a long time and am still debating whether or not to purchase one. I may just be happy with my Su-22s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not catered for in the box the Peruvian Air force used this variant. I was tempted to find some decals and do a camoflaged FAP example. Maybe next time. 29 minutes ago, RMCS said: Lovely finish Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
