Great Wall Hobby L4830 Su-30SM Flanker-H Multirole Fighter 1/48

The Great Wall Hobby L4830 Su-30SM Flanker-H Multirole Fighter 1/48 scale plastic model kit faithfully recreates the modern Russian multirole fighter Su-30SM, a member of the Flanker family. This set embodies a precise approach to modeling—both in terms of detail and the variety of finishing options—making it one of the most advanced kits in its class.

Su-30SM is one of the latest versions of the Su-30 aircraft, developed by the Sukhoi design bureau. The aircraft entered service with the Russian Federation Air Force and the armed forces of Kazakhstan around 2013, and is also widely used by individual units of the Russian Navy. Developed from the two-seat Su-27UB, the Su-30SM features modern avionics and has been adapted for a wide range of combat missions—from engaging aerial targets to ground attacks. It has participated in numerous missions in Syria and has patrolled borders in recent years. The model's operational period is modern times (from 2013 onwards).
