Zvezda's 1/72 scale
Sukhoi Su-27SM

by Clark Duan

Zvezda's 1/72 Su-27SM is available online from Squadron.com for only $23.99!

I built this Zvezda Su-27SM nearly one year ago, but till recently I took photos for this model.

General speaking, this model is very good, compare to Trumpeter's Su-27 series, this model has better shape, but lack of rivet on the surface, the plastic is a little bit soft and bad quality of canopy (a crack on the canopy glass part, maybe this is a small probability event, took me several days to polish it).

Thumbnail panels:

I replaced the pitot with a metal part and used PE nozzle parts instead of the original plastic parts. All the missiles are embedded with small magnet, so the payloads can be combined freely. The painting work is refer to the real aircraft photos, it's a little different to the painting instruction
