Sukhoi SU34 Fullback Russian Air Force, Syria, 2015

Product description

High-quality, metal model with plastic parts of the Sukhoi SU34 Fullback Fighter Bomber Red 24, Russian Air Force, Syria, 2015 in 1:72 scale.

Designed by the Soviet Union to counter the superiority of American fourth-generation fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 first flew on May 20, 1977. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but is made with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is extremely agile and is perhaps best known for its "Cobra" maneuver, a short, stable flight at an angle of 120 degrees, often performed at air shows.
