Academy 12636 1/144 Tu-22M3 Backfire C Detailed Model

The Academy 1/144 Tu-22M3 Backfire C represents a compact but accurate take on the Cold War era bomber. The kit emphasises the aircrafts sleek lines and strategic bomber silhouette in a small footprint for easy display.

External Accuracy

Academys tooling provides crisp panel lines and a convincing outline at 1/144 scale. Internal mechanical detail is omitted, but the exterior parts are crafted to present a believable representation on completion.

Model Build Experience

Designed for modellers who appreciate a moderate challenge, the assembly requires precise alignment of major components. Painting and decals are optional but will significantly improve the finished look.

Display and Scale Pairing

The finished Tu-22M3 fits neatly alongside other Cold War aircraft models, allowing collectors to build coherent displays without taking up excessive space.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/144
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
The kit is moderately challenging and best suited to builders with some previous model assembly experience rather than complete beginners.
Decals provided match the scale and layout for standard Russian Air Force markings, suitable for display models when applied carefully.
Careful seam sanding, a smooth primer coat, and subtle weathering or panel shading will enhance scale realism and highlight the kit's engraved details.
