Mikro Mir MM144-025 Tu-22UD Blinder-D Scale 1:144 Plastic Model Aircraft Kit

Tupolev Tu-22UD "Blinder-D" is represented in this 1/144 scale plastic model kit by Mikro Mir. The model depicts a Cold War Soviet long-range jet bomber variant developed as part of the Tu-22 family of supersonic strategic aircraft.

The Tu-22, known in NATO reporting as "Blinder", was one of the first Soviet supersonic bombers to enter operational service. Designed during the late 1950s and introduced in the early Cold War period, the aircraft formed part of the Soviet Union's long-range aviation force and was used for strike and reconnaissance roles.

Tu-22UD "Blinder-D" - Cold War Soviet Supersonic Bomber

The Tu-22UD variant was associated with aerial refueling capability within the Tu-22 family, extending operational range for long-distance missions. The aircraft's distinctive configuration with engines mounted at the base of the vertical stabilizer and its swept wing design made it one of the recognizable Soviet bomber aircraft of the Cold War era.

For modelers: Jet aircraft in 1/144 scale benefit from careful preparation of fuselage joints and intake areas before painting. Planning the painting sequence for the fuselage and engine nacelles separately can help maintain clean lines typical for Cold War Soviet aviation finishes.
