A Look Over The Fence

The Sukhoi Su-24, NATO reporting name Fencer, is a product of the latter-half of the Cold War and was intended for use as a ground attack aircraft. As was often the case, the type was supplied to the Soviet Russian Air Force, as well as to sympathetic nations when requested. The aircraft now soldiers on with a number of air forces including the Russian and Ukrainian Air Forces, in which it also serves, utilising dedicated airframes in the tactical reconnaissance role, known as the MR variant, and to NATO as the Fencer-E.

Trumpeter’s Su-24MR arrives in a sturdy box full of grey plastic parts with finely engraved surface detail arranged over twenty seven sprues, all in separate bags to avoid damage. A look through their now typical A4 landscape instructions reveals a typical assembly sequence, whilst a colour diagram shows the main paint and decal instructions.
