Tu-144 supersonic passenger airliner, 1/72 - ModelSvit MSVIT7203

The model Tupolev Tu-144 Supersonic Passenger Airliner by Modelsvit, reference MSVIT7203, reproduced at 1/72, depicts the famous Soviet supersonic airliner Tu-144.

The Tupolev Tu-144 is a civil aircraft with a delta wing designed for the supersonic transport of passengers. Its prototype made its first flight on 31 December 1968. Its very distinctive silhouette, with its long fuselage, four jet engines, and delta wing, makes it a standout subject in the history of civil aviation from the second half of the 20th century.

At a scale of 1/72, each dimension of the real aircraft is reduced by a factor of 72. This model thus represents a major civil aviation project, well suited for building a dedicated display featuring transport aircraft, prototypes, and supersonic aircraft.

A careful build involves preparing the parts, checking the fit before gluing, and progressively removing the seam lines. Applying a primer then helps achieve an even finish. Painting, applying decals, and a protective varnish complete the aircraft’s livery with precision.
