Trumpeter 02897 - 1/48 Scale Soviet Su-9U Maiden

The Trumpeter 02897 rendition of the Soviet Su-9U Maiden shows careful attention to the aircraft's interceptor form, modelled in 1/48 scale. It is aimed at collectors and builders who prefer historically rooted subjects from the Cold War period.

Historical Notes and Collector Value

The Su-9U Maiden was an important part of 1960s Soviet air defence and this kit reflects the airframe's characteristic silhouette. Collectors will value the fidelity of the shape and the potential for authentic finish work.

Assembly Guidance and Final Presentation

The kit rewards careful fitting and patient finishing, with parts laid out to match the aircrafts proportions. When complete the 1/48 Su-9U makes an attractive exhibit on a stand or in a themed display.

Yes, the 1/48 scale Su-9U will fit most standard display cases used for scale aircraft, but check the wingspan and length relative to your case dimensions.
Dust regularly with a soft brush and avoid harsh cleaners; if necessary, touch up paint chips carefully and store models out of direct sunlight.
