Academy 12612 - 1/144 SU-22 Fitter: Compact Cold War Replica

The Academy 12612 1/144 SU-22 Fitter gives scale modelers an approachable way to recreate a Cold War attack jet. The SU-22 is noted for its variable-sweep wings and sturdy silhouette, and this kit captures the basic lines and features that make the type recognisable to military aviation fans.

Context and Scale Accuracy

The SU-22 played a workhorse role in ground attack missions, and this model reflects that service history with a focus on proportional accuracy at 1/144 scale. Small but faithful details let builders represent the aircraft without needing a large display footprint.

Assembly Notes and Display Use

Suitable for modelers who like compact projects, the Academy 12612 kit provides a rewarding assembly experience and a neat finished model for shelf display. Careful painting and decal work will highlight the SU-22's distinctive shapes and panel lines.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Required
At 1/144 the kit focuses on overall shape and major surface detail rather than ultra fine parts; it is compact but still shows key features like the swept wings and intakes.
Standard modelling tools apply: fine cutters, sanding sticks, tweezers and plastic cement or CA glue for small joins. A steady hand helps with tiny components and decals.
Yes, its small footprint makes it easy to mix with other 1/144 jets or store on crowded shelves while still standing out with neat finishing.
Use thin coats of paint and a fine brush or airbrush for base colours, and set decals with a softening solution if needed to ensure they sit cleanly over panel lines.
