Factual and Historical Information:

The Su-27UB (NATO designation: Flanker-C) is a two-seater version of the famous Su-27 air superiority fighter, developed in the 1970s for the Soviet Air Force. The aircraft entered service in the 1980s and was widely used both for pilot training and combat missions during the Cold War period, as well as in the modern air forces of Russia, Ukraine, China, and other countries.

The Eduard FE1154 set allows for precise replication of the complex cockpit equipment used by the pilot and weapons operator, significantly enhancing the base GWH model. The model itself is known for high quality, but with the addition of photo-etched details, it achieves an almost museum-like appearance.

• Recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers – assembling photo-etched parts requires precision and experience.
• Difficulty level: 4/5 – requires patience, skill in handling tiny parts, and proficiency with CA glue.

Summary:

Eduard FE1154 is an excellent choice for Soviet and Russian aviation enthusiasts wishing to faithfully recreate the interior of the iconic Su-27UB. This add-on set will bring your model to a new level of realism that will distinguish it at any modeling competition.
