Su-27UB Flanker C, 1/48 - Hobby Boss 81713

The Su-27UB Flanker C Hobby Boss 81713 is a military aircraft model kit to be assembled at 1/48. It depicts the two-seat version of the Sukhoï Su-27UB, identifiable by its tandem cockpit. The kit is made of injected plastic and includes photo-etched parts.

The Su-27UB Flanker C

The Su-27UB is a two-seat trainer and combat variant from the Su-27 family. Designated Flanker-C in the NATO nomenclature, this twin-engine aircraft retains the distinctive silhouette of the Soviet fighter developed for air superiority missions.

The Hobby Boss 1/48 scale kit

This Hobby Boss reference reproduces the Su-27UB at a scale where the wingspan and the Flanker’s lines take center stage in a collection of modern military aviation. The assembled model measures 470 mm long and 308 mm wingspan.

The box contains more than 330 parts, as well as a photo-etch fret. The presence of a two-seat cockpit, air intakes, exhaust nozzles, and the landing gear provides many areas to highlight during painting and weathering.

Assembly and finishing

As with any plastic model kit, assembly requires suitable glue. Preparing the parts, carefully removing flash, and using a primer all help you achieve a smooth finish before painting. Photo-etched elements require precise handling and may be glued using glue suitable for this material.

At 1/48 scale, every dimension of the real aircraft is reduced by a factor of 48. This scale allows you to work the cockpit details, landing gear, structural panel lines, and aging effects with precision.
