HM 1:72 HA5718

The Sukhoi Su-35, known by NATO as Flanker-E, is a highly capable Russian multi role fighter and air superiority aircraft that evolved from the Su-27 family. It features powerful twin AL-41F1S engines with thrust vectoring for superior maneuverability, a long range Irbis-E radar that can track many targets at once, and advanced avionics that support air and ground missions. The Su-35 can carry a large weapons load on 12 hardpoints including modern air to air and air to surface missiles. It remains a core frontline fighter for the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Sukhoi Su-35S Flanker-E
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.
