Hasegawa 1/72 scale, box number 01565 (E35), Su-33 Flanker D Russian Navy.

Nice sharp engraved panel lines. No ofitting problem if you build without any resin detail set. But after attaching Wolfpack resin detail set closing the body is tricky. Kit gives all air to air loading for this Su-33 but armament detail is weak. Thats why Zvezda armament was used.

Trumpeter SU-24M FENCER-D 1/48 Scale

Trumpeter 1/48 scale, box number 02835. There are more than 600 parts in a big and nice box.

More than half of the parts for armaments. There are very rich variety and almost all kind of russian aircraft weapons can be build.

Parts are grey plastic and has engraved panels. Rivet detail is very weak.

Radar section can be build open and kit gives nice detail for that in the radome.

Wings are swing wing. Spoiler over wings can be positioned up and flaps are extended. But you should fix wing unswept. If you want sweptback wing, spoiler must be down and flaps are retracted as i did which is very hard modification is needed. Because wings are cannot be build with flaps up. No place over wing for that.

Nose landing gear strut is optional, metal or plastic. Main landing gear strus are plastic but there are metal support core inside. Tires and rims are seperated. Tires are black nylon, rims are plastic.
