What the Academy 1/72 M-27 Flogger-D Kit Represents

The Academy 1/72 M-27 Flogger-D kit recreates the profile and structural cues of the Cold War era fighter in a handy 1/72 scale. It reproduces the jet's variable geometry wing and other signature features so builders can capture the aircrafts look in miniature form.

Historical Background and Modellers Appeal

Developed at a time of rapid aviation progress, the original M-27 Flogger-D used a swing-wing design to balance speed and handling. Model enthusiasts will appreciate the kit for its illustrative engineering details and the chance to practise fine assembly techniques.

Construction Notes and Finished Model Value

Intended for hobbyists with basic modelling experience, the kit benefits from careful trimming and filling to present the panels and cockpit correctly. When completed with paint and decals, the resulting model is compact yet visually convincing on a shelf or in a display case.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Newer modellers can tackle it, but should expect small parts and some fiddly joins; practise on simpler kits first if you are brand new to the hobby.
There is scope for adding resin or photo-etched upgrades for cockpit or undercarriage detail, subject to trimming and careful fitting.
Both brush and airbrush painting give good results; use light priming and thin coats to preserve surface detail before applying the decals.
