From my first glimpse of Ivan Kopotienko’s SU-27 model, what really struck me was the precision of the paint job. The digital camouflage pattern with its shades of blue and gray is sharply rendered, creating a vivid representation of the Ukrainian Air Force scheme. It’s the kind of detail that makes you pause and appreciate the skill involved in capturing such an iconic look at a 1:72 scale.

Speaking of the SU-27 itself, did you know it was designed during the Cold War to counter Western fighters like the F-15? It’s fascinating how engineers managed to create something so agile and powerful during a tense period in history. The SU-27 wasn’t just about being a match in speed—it brought exceptional maneuverability to the table, all while boasting impressive range and payload capabilities.

This model does a great job of highlighting why the SU-27 remains such a captivating piece of aviation history. It combines careful attention to detail with a finish that beautifully reflects the aircraft’s storied legacy. For anyone interested in aviation, particularly military aircraft, this model is truly worth a closer look. It’s a piece that invites admiration, not just for the model itself, but for the history it represents.
