Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:72 scale Russian Air Force Sukhoi Su-57 Felon BLUE 056 (HA6805) (HA2215) by Hobby Master.

The T-50/Su-57 prototype first flew on January 29, 2010 and as of March 2018 there are 10 Su-57 prototypes and were named Felons that year by NATO. This is Russia’s first stealth aircraft and was designed to compete with the F-22 and F-35. The Su-57 is made from extensive use of composite material and radar absorbing material (RAM). The original AL-41F-1 engine is under powered and will be replaced by an Izdelie 30 which is under development. The Felon has super maneuverability, super-cruise, thrust-vectoring nozzles. Russia ordered 76 Su-57s.

Within Sukhoi the aircraft was designated as T-50 and is the first Russian aircraft to use stealth technology. Su-57 Bort 056 was the sixth flying prototype completing its maiden flight on April 17, 2016.

The Kh-31 “Krypton” is a Soviet and Russian air-to-surface missile carried by aircraft such as the MiG-29, Su-35 and the Su-57. It is capable of Mach 3.5 and was the first supersonic anti-ship missile that could be launched by tactical aircraft. There are several variants; the Kh-31 is best known as an anti-radiation missile (ARM) but there are also anti-ship and target drone versions. There has been talk of adapting it to make an “AWACS killer”, a long-range air-to-air missile.

This model air-plane is made from die-cast metal and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Corgi, Gemini Jets, JC Wings, Witty Wings, Century Wings, NG Models and Aviation72.
