The Su-13 (Samolyet KT) was a proposal to re-engine the aircraft with Soviet copies of the Rolls-Royce Derwent turbojet as well as to modify it for night fighting, but neither proposal was accepted. A modified version with different engines and a revised wing became the Su-11 (Samolyet KL), but this was did not enter production either. The Su-9 was slower than competing Soviet aircraft and it was cancelled as a result. The design was heavily influenced by captured German jet fighters and it was subsequently redesigned to use a Soviet copy of a German turbojet. The design began in 1944 and was intended to use Soviet-designed turbojet engines. The Sukhoi Su-9, or Samolyet K (Aircraft K), was an early jet fighter built in the Soviet Union shortly after World War II. Not to be confused with the later supersonic Su-9 "Fishpot" that first flew in 1956, this Su-9 dates from 10 years earlier. Revell's 1/72 Buccaneer is available online from I highly recommend this kit, and encourage readers to check out Prop & Jets other offerings as well. It has very nice surface and interior detail, fine small parts, and its reinforced undercarriage is a nice touch. This is a very good kit indeed, with excellent quality parts, good decals and clear instructions. (I could only find one stockist with a clear system for ordering (ModelsUA), but have listed Linden Hill as they carry many of Prop & Jet’s products, and the IRMA as it lists prices but does not appear to have an obvious ordering mechanism).Įxcellent quality, nice detail, simple assembly the reinforced undercarriage is a real plus.
