Latest off the stocks: a slightly basic kit, but a fun build nevertheless!

Very nice! Love those early stovepipe Sukhois, big hulking things. I see them turn up once in a while over here. But maybe I should get on with the Maquette SU-9 Fishpot in the ready stash first!

Lovely to see this one Fred, a classic cold war warrior from KP. Great work.

Grand job. I built that one many years ago, putting it in desert colours for a Middle East air force so it's good to see what a natural metal one looks like.

Big wallowing brute of an aircraft, much beloved by its crews (not), but a cracking build of an at-times uncooperative model - nice work Fred!

Very nice!
SMER have rereleased this as a SU-7BMK, you can tell because it has the KP logo on the inside of the vertical stabiliser. A fine kit nevertheless, despite no locating pins on the fuselage and only flimsy ones for the tailplane. Open or closed canopy from SMER also.

Nice work, I find these 60s/70s types much more appealing than the Modern Russian heavy metal.
