Product Description

Směr - 1:48 Sukhoi Su-7BMK - 1210854

At the beginning of the 1950s Pavel Sukhoi introduced two similar designs differing in their wing arrangement. The first of the two designs had a delta wing and was marked with the letter “T” as an interceptor, while the second design had swept wings, was marked with the letter “S” as a tactical fighter. The T-1 design was dropped, but the interceptor T-3 version was later developed as the Su-9. The swept wing S-1 concept provided better low-altitude handling, making that design suitable for the tactical fighter role. Production was authorised, and the first prototype took to the air on 8 September 1955. The aircraft was officially introduced in 1956 during an air show at Tushino Airport and NATO observers assigned it the codename “Fitter”. Series production was launched in 1959, when it entered service. The Su-7BMK was the export version of the BKL for countries outside the Warsaw Pact. This version is very similar to the BKL version with the exception of the adopted BM landing gear, and the lack of a weapons computer.
