About product

Su-17UM3 Fitter-G 1:48 — Hobby Boss

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet Sukhoi Su-17UM3 Fitter-G fighter-bomber in 1:48 scale from the company Hobby Boss. It is the two-seat combat trainer version with the seats in tandem. The model offers a richly broken down cockpit, an engraved panel structure, separate control surfaces and a movable variable-geometry wing, as well as optional positions of the canopy, the landing gear and the airbrakes, rubber tires and a range of external stores. Photo-etched parts and decals for Soviet machines are included too.

The real subject

The Su-17 was the first Soviet combat aircraft with a variable-geometry wing, derived from the Su-7 series. The outer sections of the wing pivoted, which improved the takeoff and landing qualities and the load-carrying ability. The UM3 version served as the two-seat trainer counterpart of the single-seat Su-17M3 with identical avionics, so it allowed training as well as combat use. The machine was powered by a powerful jet engine and carried a wide range of bombs and rockets.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife and glue them with thin liquid cement for plastic, and the fine photo-etched parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Apply a primer before painting and spray the camouflage with an airbrush in thin coats. Accentuate the engraved panel structure with a fine wash and mask the canopy glazing. On the model the movable wing can be built in various positions.

Who the model is for

  • For admirers of Soviet and Russian jet aircraft of the Cold War
  • For modelers with experience of building fighters in 1:48 scale
  • For collectors of machines with a variable-geometry wing
  • For those interested in two-seat combat trainer versions

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
