Navy Bird Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Very nicely done. Does the Polish Air Force still fly this type? Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Su-22s and MiG-29s will be replaced by 48 KAI FA-50s. @alex_stela This is gorgeous! Did you need to convert it, or does Modelsvit make an Su-22 now? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Su-22UM3K was one of them. Still waiting for Su-22M4. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought for some time now these would be a good fit for a revamped RNZAF strike capacity. That is a super Su-22 @alex_stela, the modern scheme really suits them & you've caught it beautifully. 👍 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Lockheed Martin a partner with KAI in the development of the FA-50? There could be quite a bit of F-16 DNA inside. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
