Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA6302A
Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback Diecast Model
Russian Air Force, Red 21, Bassel Al-Assad Airport, Syria, 2015

1:72 Scale   Length   Width
Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback   12.75"   8"

In September 2015 six Su-34 aircraft arrived at Syria's Bassel Al-Assad international Airport at Latakia. Russia began aerial attacks on September 30 in the Homs region against the Islamic State. While in Syria the Su-34 maintained a 70% availability rate and gave the Russian Air Force an opportunity to sharpen their skills. Su-34 Red 21 was given serial RF-95002. Interestingly, several of the aircraft deployed with their Russian Air Force Markings and Red Star Insignia painted over. This was possibly done to help mask the identity of any aircraft that might be downed during the ongoing conflict. This particular model shows darkened areas on wing and tail surfaces where the the insignia would ordinarily be seen, simulating the concealed markings of the actual aircraft.

Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback

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.
