Taking a good look at Evgeniy Abulhanov’s 1:48 scale Su-27 model from Academy, the first thing that draws my attention is the weathering. It adds such a realistic touch, with subtle streaks and shades that mimic the wear and tear an actual aircraft might experience. It really gives the model a dynamic feel, as if it’s seen some serious action in the skies.

Speaking of the Su-27, it’s fascinating to think that this aircraft was introduced in the Soviet Union during the late 1970s and is still in use today. It was developed to counter American fourth-generation fighters like the F-15. What’s really cool is how it dominated airshows with its exceptional maneuverability, thanks to its tail fins and powerful engines. The Su-27 was a part of the Soviet response to maintaining air superiority—a piece of flying history that changed dogfights forever.

Overall, this model captures the heart of what makes the Su-27 so compelling. Evgeniy’s attention to weathering enhances its authenticity, making it a pretty neat addition for enthusiasts who appreciate both the meticulous craftsmanship and historical significance of military aviation.
