Looking at Sergey Afanasev’s Su-30SM model — what stands out is the overall cleanliness of the build. The paint job really brings it together, capturing that distinctive blue-gray camouflage. You can see the precision in the clean lines and the smooth blending of colors, which gives it a realistic look without the exaggeration.

Now, speaking of the real Su-30SM, it’s a pretty fascinating aircraft. This fighter jet, part of the Russian Air Force, is known for its heavy agility and versatility. It can handle various roles, from air superiority missions to ground attacks. It was the adaptability that made it so valued — almost like the Swiss army knife in aviation. That’s what I find intriguing about it.

In terms of the model itself, one would appreciate how the scale, 1:72, gives a nice balance between size and detail without overwhelming the workbench. Zvezda has done a commendable job with the kit, offering quality that enthusiasts can enjoy. What makes this model worthy of attention is how it mixes the technical substance of the Su-30SM with Sergey’s clean craftsmanship. It really deserves a look if you’re into building military aircraft models, adding both history and skill to your collection.
