Sukhoi Su-22; MasterCraft 1/72
As this year is the 50th aniversary of the invasion of Checoslovaquia, I built this model with their colors.
This plane is quite special to me, for some reasons:
1- It was a gift from my friend Jorge.
2 - It was my first Russian fighter ever.
3 - It was quite a challenge: bad fits, details and parts out of scale, and so on.
But, to honour my friends gift, I tried my best. As usual, did some modifications.
At the end had much fun.

Thank you, Sir. An ugly kit, if I may say so... nothing fits and so on...
But kept on going and it turned out almost something đ

Another great one! I think I have this kit, and was going to put it in Polish livery. This one is lovely.
