ICM 14402 Plastic aircraft model kit Scale 1:144 Tupolev Tu-144D Soviet airliner

Tupolev Tu-144D is a 1/144 scale plastic aircraft model kit by ICM representing the Soviet supersonic passenger airliner developed during the Cold War period. The Tu-144 became one of the earliest supersonic transport aircraft designed for commercial passenger service.

The Tu-144 program was developed by the Tupolev design bureau as a high-speed civil transport intended to reduce long-distance travel times. The Tu-144D variant incorporated modifications and improvements over earlier versions, including changes to engines and operational capabilities.

Tupolev Tu-144D - Soviet Supersonic Passenger Airliner

The aircraft featured a distinctive delta wing configuration and retractable canard surfaces that improved handling during takeoff and landing. Its streamlined fuselage and high-speed design reflected the technological ambitions of supersonic passenger aviation during the Cold War era.

For modelers: Large airliner models in 1/144 scale benefit from careful alignment of the fuselage halves and wings before final assembly. Painting major components such as wings and fuselage sections separately can help achieve a cleaner finish on the long airframe.
