1/72 Su-27P Flanker B Red 98/RF-33753 Russian Navy 2020s

Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth-generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one-seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120-degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows.
