Print Scale 72-179 Decal Sukhoi Su-17 Su-20 Su-22 Part 2 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-179 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Sukhoi Su-17, Su-20, and Su-22 “Fitter” family. This decal set represents the second part of the series and includes historically documented markings for variable-geometry Soviet fighter-bombers operated by different air forces during the Cold War period.

The Sukhoi Su-17 lineage formed the backbone of Soviet and allied tactical aviation from the late 1960s through the 1980s. Export versions such as the Su-20 and Su-22 were widely used by Warsaw Pact and non-aligned countries, while several aircraft were later evaluated by Western air forces. This decal sheet allows modelers to reproduce diverse camouflage schemes, national insignia, unit codes, and serial numbers applied to these aircraft in operational and evaluation roles.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure precise placement over complex airframe surfaces, including variable-sweep wings. The set is compatible with most 1:72 scale Su-17 / Su-20 / Su-22 plastic model kits and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the variety of marking options and camouflage schemes.
