Trumpeter 02897 1/48 Soviet Su-9U Maiden Kit  [TP02897]

Trumpeter 02897 - Detailed 1/48 Su-9U Maiden Representation

The Trumpeter 02897 model kit reproduces the Soviet Su-9U Maiden with fine moulded detail, reflecting its role as a Cold War interceptor. Favoured for its place in 1960s air defence, this 1/48 scale release is aimed at hobbyists who value historical accuracy and careful assembly.

Cold War Background and Modelling Appeal

The Su-9U Maiden, noted for its slim intake and interceptor profile, played a key role in Soviet air defence. Builders will appreciate parts that capture the aircraft's distinctive lines and features, making it a solid choice for those collecting mid century military jets.

Construction Notes and Display Potential

This Trumpeter kit presents a rewarding build that requires patience and precise fitting. Components are modelled to true proportions so the finished 1/48 Su-9U makes a sharp display piece on a shelf or in a Cold War themed diorama.
