Tu-22M2 Backfire B 1/72

Italeri 1440 Tu-22M2 Backfire B 1/72 | Strategic Bomber Model Kit

Build the iconic Tu-22M2 Backfire B with this detailed 1/72 scale model kit from Italeri. Developed in the late 1960s and introduced into Soviet service during the 1970s, the Tupolev Tu-22M2 became one of the Soviet Union's primary strategic bombers. Featuring variable-sweep wings, powerful engines, and the ability to carry both conventional and nuclear weapons, the Backfire became one of the defining aircraft of the Cold War. It was also optimized for anti-ship strike missions and remains in service today in upgraded variants.

This Italeri kit is based on the original ESCI molds and includes new high-quality decals for three marking options. With excellent surface detail and a completed model measuring nearly 59 cm in length, it is an impressive addition to any modern military aircraft collection.
