The Su 27 Flanker single seat supersonic interceptor is a typical fourth generation Soviet fighter that has come to be generally recognized as one of the world’s best fighters of the 90’s.
The remarkable airshow routines flown by pilots of Su-27 have demonstrated manouevres such as the tailslide and the cobra which simply cannot be emulated by Western fighters. The Sukhoi SU-27 is a beautiful aircraft both on the ground and in the air with amazing maneuverability characteristics and a firepower to reckon with in air-to-air combat.
The SU-27 from AVIATION DESIGN is a super scale kit with all the panel lines, fuselage hatches, gun, antennas engraved. It also includes many scale details (cockpit, landing gear, pitot probes, air brake ...).
Of course, it is fully molded in composite materials (fiberglass, carbon and epoxy) to reduce the assembly time, and improve the overall quality.

This kit is largely pre-build :

- the 2 wings, 2 fins, 2 ventral fins, 2 stabs and 2 canards come to you finished, fully molded with panel lines engraved, aluminum tube and spar already glued in place, the wing and fin alignment pins are factory installed.
- the 2 fuselage main plywood frames will be already glued in the fuselage

So up to 85% of the work will be done in our factory.
