Limited Edition of only 350 models worldwide 

Add an iconic Cold War fighter-bomber to your collection with this impressive JC Wings 1:72 scale Sukhoi Su-17M4 Fitter K, representing "Red 07" of the Soviet Air Force's 263rd Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Squadron, stationed at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, in 1988.

The Sukhoi Su-17 was a formidable Soviet variable-sweep-wing fighter-bomber, developed from the earlier Su-7 and designed to deliver powerful ground-attack capabilities. Renowned for its rugged construction, impressive speed and ability to operate in demanding conditions, the Su-17 became a mainstay of Soviet tactical aviation throughout the Cold War.

The Su-17M4, designated "Fitter K" by NATO, was the final production variant, featuring upgraded avionics, improved navigation systems and enhanced weapons-delivery capabilities. The aircraft saw extensive operational service during the Soviet-Afghan War, undertaking ground-attack, reconnaissance and tactical support missions in the challenging mountainous terrain of Afghanistan.

This highly detailed diecast replica faithfully recreates the distinctive appearance of the Su-17M4, complete with authentic Soviet Air Force camouflage, striking Red 07 markings and finely reproduced aircraft detailing. Its characteristic variable-sweep wings, realistic undercarriage and detailed weapons configuration capture the unmistakable profile of this powerful Cold War combat aircraft.

Produced by JC Wings in 1:72 scale and limited to just 350 pieces worldwide, this model is an excellent addition to any collection of Soviet military aircraft, Cold War jets or historically significant combat aircraft.
