Historical background of the Su-17M4 Fitter-K

The Su-17M4 Fitter-K is a Soviet supersonic attack aircraft developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. The M4 model is one of the latest versions of the machine, widely used by the Soviet Union, Warsaw Pact countries, and Middle Eastern states. The aircraft was in service from the late 1970s and remained operational until modern times in some nations. It participated in many armed conflicts, including the war in Afghanistan and various local conflicts in Africa.

They do not require time-consuming processing, enabling you to quickly upgrade your Su-17M4 replica to a professional level.

The set is intended for intermediate and advanced modellers. I rate the difficulty level as 3 out of 5—experience with small resin parts and proper preparation for assembly are crucial. The product is highly recommended for enthusiasts of 20th-century aviation and modellers seeking the highest level of detail, especially those creating dioramas or striving for historical accuracy in their builds. The Quickboost QB48879 set is an excellent way to enhance any collection of models representing Soviet technical ingenuity.
