This is the incredibly tiny Dragon 1:700 scale model of the USSR's Tupolev Tu-22M2 operational and naval bomber/cruise missile carrier.
The four part aircraft model is from a submarine kit, thus the tiny scale. There are ten decals for the four parts.
Nearly 500 of the bombers were built (1967-1997), with some 100 remaining in the service of the Russian air force. This is the original version with the side air intakes prior to the upgrades seen on current versions.
