ICM 14401 1/144 TU-144 Precision Scale Model Kit  [ICM-14401]

ICM 14401 - 1/144 TU-144: Scale Model of a Supersonic Classic

The ICM 14401 reproduces the TU-144, a pioneering Soviet supersonic airliner, in 1/144 scale. The kit balances authentic shape and manageable part counts so modellers can achieve a faithful miniature representation.

Background and Builder Interest

Introduced during the 1960s, the TU-144 pushed civil aviation into supersonic speeds, often reaching Mach 2. This kit highlights the aircraft's streamlined fuselage and sharp delta wing, giving hobbyists a chance to focus on surface details and finishing techniques.

Display Suitability and Finish

The small footprint of the 1/144 scale makes the model ideal for shelf displays or dioramas. Panel lines and structural forms are modelled to convey the TU-144's character without overwhelming construction complexity.
