Product Description

This 27th installment in the popular LOCK ON series focuses on the Soviet Sukhoi Su-22 M3 Fitter in Hungarian service. Famed for its tangle over the Gulf of Sidra with USN F-14 Tomcats(the first swing-wing vs. Swing wing aerial engagement), this brutish aircraft serves with the air forces of many of the ex-Soviet client states of eastern Europe and the middle east. Beautiful full color photography provides a rare glimpse at such details as cockpits, landing gear, avionics, armament, external stores, engine, access panels, ejection seat, pilots, and much more. This book belongs in the collection of any scale aircraft modeler, aviation, or military enthusiast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures !!!, August 4, 2000

By	Alex Bengtsson "alexbengtsson" (Houston TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Altough it has only a few pages, the pictures are excelent showing the aircraft in detail and from several angles. The text is made of small legends, but it is very informative.
