Su-35S Flanker E Latakia Syria 2016 die-cast Hobby Master HA5702B scale 1:72

Su-35S Flanker E Latakia Syria 2016 die-cast Hobby Master HA5702B scale 1:72 Highly detailed Hobby Master pre-painted diecast metal model Item#: HA5702B Scale: 1:72 The Sukhoi Su-35S Flanker E is a highly modified and improved derivative of the Su-27. In the 1980s modifications were made to the Su-27 (Su-27M) also referred to as Su-35. About 20 years later a heavily modified member of the Flanker family was produced and given the title of Su-35S Flanker E. Considered by many to be the most capable fourth generation fighter in the sky and equipped with many fifth generation technologies. This probably will be the last of the Flanker family when the fifth generation Russian aircraft arrive. Looking to upgrade their Su-27 multi-purpose fighter in the 1980s, the Russians began developing an advanced derivative that became known as the Su-35. Though this first iteration — taking its inaugural flight in 1988 — ultimately received its own Su-37 designation, engineers continued their work and designed a 4++ Generation fighter, meant to bridge the gap before the PAK FA became available. This 1/72 scale, die cast replica of the modern warbird — which saw its first combat conditions in 2016 Syria when four planes were sent to the Air Base at Latakia — features a selection of top-quality elements including historic markings, an opening canopy, a removable pilot figure, realistic weaponry, optional-position landing gear, and a display stand.
