Litaki 1/72 Scale Jet Aircraft Collection
The 1/72 Litaki Jet Aircraft collection showcases Litaki's expertise in producing kits of Eastern European jet aircraft that mainstream manufacturers overlook. Litaki specializes in Yugoslav and Romanian aviation subjects, filling important gaps in jet aircraft modeling with well-researched, quality kits of these unique Cold War designs.
Featured J-22 Orao/IAR-93 Aircraft
The J-22 Orao/IAR-93 represents a unique collaboration between Yugoslavia and Romania to develop an indigenous ground attack aircraft. The Orao (Eagle in Serbian) and IAR-93 were produced jointly during the 1970s and 1980s, featuring twin engines, robust construction, and comprehensive weapons capability. This kit captures the single-seat variant with detailed cockpit, weapons pylons, and authentic Yugoslav Air Force or Romanian Air Force markings. The Two Seat version represents the trainer and operational conversion variant with tandem cockpits and extended fuselage.
Cold War Eastern European Aviation
The J-22 Orao/IAR-93 represents an important chapter in Eastern European aviation history as one of the few indigenous jet combat aircraft developed outside the major powers. The aircraft saw combat service during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s and remained in Romanian service into the 21st century. These kits document a significant but often-overlooked aircraft that represented national pride and technological achievement for both Yugoslavia and Romania.
Quality Modeling
Litaki kits feature quality molding with good surface detail, detailed cockpit interiors with instrument panels and ejection seats, comprehensive weapons and external stores, clear canopy parts, and authentic decal sheets with multiple marking options. These kits appeal to modelers seeking unusual subjects and historians documenting Eastern European military aviation.
