Sukhoi SU-17 Aircraft R 1949 Model Aircraft Kit Scale 1:72 A&A Models AAM7208

Sukhoi Su-17 aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents an early Soviet experimental jet fighter prototype developed in the late 1940s by the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

Important note: this aircraft should not be confused with the later Sukhoi Su-17 “Fitter” series introduced in the 1960s. The Su-17 of 1949 was a completely different experimental design and was never placed into serial production.

Sukhoi Su-17 (1949) – Early Cold War Experimental Fighter

The Su-17 (1949) was created as part of the Soviet Union’s early post-war efforts to develop advanced jet fighters. The project explored new aerodynamic solutions and jet propulsion concepts during the formative years of Cold War aviation.

Despite flight testing, the aircraft did not progress beyond the prototype stage, as newer and more promising designs emerged. Nevertheless, the Su-17 contributed valuable data to the evolution of Soviet jet fighter development.

This plastic model kit by A&A Models accurately represents the configuration and proportions of this rare early Sukhoi prototype, making it suitable for builders interested in experimental aircraft and early Cold War aviation history.

The kit belongs to the Aircraft Model Kits category and is produced in 1:72 scale, allowing it to be displayed alongside other experimental and prototype jet aircraft models.
