The first thing that strikes me about Aleksey Seregin’s Su-27SM model, crafted at a 1:72 scale from Zvezda, is the incredible attention to detail in the weathering. The subtle wear and tear on the paintwork make it look like this jet has just returned from an air superiority mission. It’s impressive how the weathering gives life and depth to the model without overdoing it. I believe details like this enhance the character of the aircraft.

Now, diving into a slice of history, the real Su-27 was initially developed to counter the fourth-generation fighters coming from the West. It’s fascinating how the aircraft was designed to maintain air superiority with its supermaneuverability. Its ability to perform complex aerial maneuvers is nothing short of extraordinary for its time, allowing it to keep the edge in dogfights.

What makes Aleksey’s model stand out is its ability to capture the essence of the Su-27SM’s sleek design and operational grit. The weathering adds a touch of realism that draws you in, compelling you to appreciate the intricacies of this iconic jet. It’s these little things that make a model worthy of attention and grab the imagination of any aviation enthusiast.
