Eduard 491285 Su-27K MINIBASE 1/48

The Eduard 491285 detail set is designed specifically for the Su-27K model in 1/48 scale, released by MINIBASE. This dedicated set significantly enhances the level of detail in the model, making its appearance more attractive in terms of both realism and historical accuracy of the original.

The Su-27K (export designation – Su-33) is a carrier-based multirole fighter used by the Russian Navy. The design was developed as a modernization of the successful Su-27 Flanker fighter to meet the needs of carrier-based operations. The aircraft entered service in the 1990s – spanning the Cold War period and modern times. The most renowned operational theater for the Su-27K is the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, where the aircraft has performed fighter, escort, and air interception missions.
