Zvezda 7227 SU-25 (1/72) – plastic model kit

The Zvezda 7227 SU-25 in 1/72 scale is a great choice for military aviation enthusiasts and collectors of models from the Cold War and modern eras. This multi-part plastic kit faithfully replicates one of the most recognizable attack aircraft in the world, used since the 1980s to the present day in many countries around the globe.

The SU-25 "Frogfoot" was designed by the Soviet Sukhoi design bureau as a light close air support aircraft. Its main advantages were its exceptional resistance to combat damage and ease of maintenance in harsh field conditions. Since its first flight in 1975, this aircraft has been used by the air forces of the Soviet Union, and later Russia, as well as exported to Middle Eastern, African, and Eastern European countries. The SU-25 has participated in numerous armed conflicts: the Soviet-Afghan War, Caucasus conflicts, Gulf War, and actions in Georgia and Syria. The aircraft is distinguished by its characteristic silhouette, impressive firepower, and a wide range of underwing armament.

This model by Zvezda reproduces both the signature fuselage shape and details such as landing gear, weapon pylons, and the pilot’s cockpit. The set is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring precise fitting of parts and ease of assembly and painting. Inside the box, you’ll find a complete set of components, a clear canopy, and decals that allow you to recreate realistic paint schemes used by different air force units.
