The Tupolev Tu-22 bomber (NATO reporting name: Blinder) is an advanced Soviet design that entered service in the 1960s. It was heavily used by the USSR Air Force, especially during the Cold War, serving as a long-range strategic bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. It participated in numerous exercises and power demonstrations by the USSR during the Cold War arms race.

The Eduard 73691 set includes highly detailed, precisely etched metal parts, specially designed to replicate the distinctive Tu-22 cockpit and crew stations. The set allows for significant enhancement of details such as the instrument panel, seatbelts, sidewall components, levers, and small features unattainable in a standard out-of-the-box Trumpeter plastic model.

This is a photo-etched set by Eduard, an excellent accessory dedicated to plastic models, enabling experienced modelers to achieve an advanced replication of the bomber cockpit interior. Assembly requires skill in working with small and delicate metal parts, so it is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level: 4/5).

Using the Eduard 73691 Tu-22 interior 1/72 greatly increases the realism of your replica, making it impressive whether fully displayed or featured in a diorama. We especially recommend this product to aviation modeling enthusiasts and fans of Soviet aviation history. It is an ideal choice for collectors and model builders who value the highest level of detail and realism in 1/72 scale.
