A-Model 72215 Sukhoi Su-3 Experimental Fighter 1/72 – plastic model kit

A-Model 72215 Sukhoi Su-3 Experimental Fighter (1/72) is a high-quality plastic model kit intended for modelers interested in the history of experimental aviation during World War II. This kit allows for a faithful reproduction of the Soviet experimental fighter Su-3, which marked a unique stage in the development of aircraft designs by the Sukhoi design bureau.

Features of the Su-3 model

• Scale: 1/72 – ideal for World War II aircraft collections, allowing for preserved detail and an attractive appearance once assembled.
• Country of use: USSR – the aircraft was an experimental project utilized by the Soviet Union.
• Period of use: World War II – Su-3 aircraft were developed in 1940–1941 but never entered serial production and participated only in research programs.
• Category: Plastic model kit – the product is made from high-quality plastic, which makes the processing and assembly of parts easier.
• Kit contents: Sprues with plastic parts, a transparent canopy, decals for replicating historical markings. The set does not include glue or paints – these must be purchased separately.

Historical information

The Sukhoi Su-3 was a Soviet experimental fighter designed in Pavel Sukhoi’s bureau as an evolution of the Su-1 design. The main goal of the program was to improve performance by using an advanced wing and optimizing the aerodynamic layout. The aircraft made its first flight in June 1941, but due to difficulties with the availability of diesel engines and being outperformed by competing designs, the project was not further developed. Nevertheless, the Su-3 played an important role in tests and experiments that influenced later Soviet military aircraft projects.

Who is it recommended for?

The A-Model 72215 Sukhoi Su-3 model is recommended for enthusiasts of rare aircraft designs looking for unique additions to their collections. Due to the assembly complexity, we rate the difficulty at level 3/5: the model is suitable for both intermediate and more experienced modelers. It serves as an excellent base for your own modifications, enhancements, and painting techniques.
