The Sukhoi Su-9 (Fishpot) was a single-engine, all-weather, missile-armed interceptor aircraft developed by the Soviet Union. Two-seat trainer version, designated Su-9U, was also produced in limited numbers, it received the NATO reporting name 'Maiden.' Kit has engraved panel lines, detailed tandem cockpit, engine with turbine faces, optional canopy, detailed wheel wells and optional undercarriage, external stores (x2) drop tanks and (x4) air-to-air missiles. Decals and 4-view color painting reference for (2) aircraft -stencil data and markings, weapons data and markings, instrument panel and consoles.

Product introduction:
 
    The Su-9's fuselage and tail surfaces resembled those of the Su-7, but unlike the swept wing of that aircraft, the 'Fishpot' used a 53° delta wing with conventional slab tailplanes.
 
    The Su-9 had primitive R1L radar in the shock cone and was armed with four K-5 (AA-1 'Alkali') beam-riding air-to-air missiles. Like all beam-riders, the K-5 was so limited as to be nearly useless for air-to-air combat. Unlike the Su-7 and later Su-15, no Su-9 carried cannon armament, although two fuselage pylons were reserved for the carriage of drop tanks.
