ICM 14401 - 1/144 TU-144: Scale Reproduction of a Classic Jet

The ICM 14401 kit models the TU-144, an early Soviet supersonic passenger aircraft, at 1/144 scale. It focuses on delivering the aircraft's distinctive profile and allows modellers to build a historically interesting subject.

Historical Context and Builder Details

Launched in the 1960s, the TU-144 pushed civil aviation into supersonic territory with speeds near Mach 2. This kit is suited to hobbyists who enjoy researching period aircraft and adding fine paint and weathering to enhance realism.

Presentation and Collector Notes

At 1/144, the finished model is compact enough for grouped displays with other airliners. Careful finishing will emphasise the TU-144's panel work and silhouette for a striking addition to any collection.
