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

The Academy 1/144 Tu-22M3 Backfire C provides a small-scale rendition of a notable Cold War bomber. Its slim profile and long-range reputation are reflected in the kit's external lines, offering a rewarding subject for display builds.

Exterior Craftsmanship

Academy has modelled clear panel definition and a correct outline at this scale. Although the kit does not include inner engine components, the surface moulding gives a convincing representation suitable for shelf display.

Display Potential

The compact 1/144 size makes this Tu-22M3 convenient to display with other aircraft models, providing a cohesive look for a Cold War themed collection.
