Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia needed to find a lower-cost alternative to the Su-35 and Su-37 designs. The Su-30KN was a proposed mid-life upgrade to expand and enhance the air-to-ground capabilities of the exisiting fleet of Su-30 airframes. Costs were contained by focusing development efforts on avionics advancements and avoiding modifications to the airframe and powerplant systems. An Su-30 was converted into the Su-30KN prototype and first flew in March 1999. This aircraft was repainted in a striking three-tone gray camouflage scheme and was coded "White 302".

Includes metal display stand.

Gaincorp's 1:72 scale Su-30 is a large, heavy model made primarily of diecast metal with plastic used only in those areas requiring the finest detail. The model can be easily displayed right out of the box without any configuration necessary. The speed brake with a positionable actuator support arm can be displayed in the deployed position behind the opening hinged canopy. Along with movable rudders and flaps, the forward leading edge slats are also movable, an uncommon feature in this scale. The model rests on sturdy metal fixed landing gear and is packed with a full load of wing and fuselage mounted ordnance.
