Maybe the Su-22 doesn't have wide appeal to that extent, but there are some interesting schemes to be found.Scale Model Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02551604870480525965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160904620216483498.post-77870707547094982502012-12-07T16:55:06.394-08:002012-12-07T16:55:06.394-08:00I'd be all over the Foxbat but even more so ov...I'd be all over the Foxbat but even more so over the Fitter. You have two different paths you could take with the Fitter, or maybe even in parallel, the Su-17 and the export Su-22. From the fuselage break point forward,including the wings, the aircraft are the same, aft of the break point, the fuselage was a bulged on the 22 to fit the larger Tumansky engine (same as fitted to the MiG-23). It give the aircraft a very distinct appearance that the KP misses due to it really being an Su-17.<br /><br />By creating the molds in such a way as the front fuselage being separate from the rear, Kittyhawk could produce 1 single seat front fuselage, one dual seat front fuselage and one aft Lyul'ka fuselage and one aft Tumansky fuselage and in short order cover the entire gamut of the the late Fitter. <br /><br />How likely are they to go through that much trouble? Probably pretty unlikely. But if they du, I would suggest to them to pick up ARMADA's excellent monograph on the Fitter.José M.

Revell has been the only game in town for decades and it has a lot of inaccuracies.<br /><br />I'd like a reconn version in Soviet markings...those camo schemes were nice.Whiteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445729409601455682noreply@blogger.com
