Su-35S Flanker Russian AF Multi-Role Fighter 1/72 Hasegawa

The Su-35 Flanker is a Russian multirole fighter. It’s an upgrade of the Su-27, with the Su-35 losing its predecessor’s canard wings – the need for which is nullified by the thrust-vectoring nozzles of its engines, which are more than enough to provide the design with high maneuverability. Additional modifications include the elimination of the Su-27’s dorsal speed brake and an increase in the fuselage fuel tank capacity. The Su-35 is also fitted with a midair refueling probe and twin forward landing gear wheels. The Su-35 is powered by two AL-41F1S (117S) engines fitted with thrust-vectoring nozzles. These give the aircraft flight maneuverability unprecedented in earlier fighter designs. The nose is fitted with a passive phased array E (Irbis-E) radar. Operating together with the newest in fire control systems, the radar gives the fighter the capability to acquire normal (unstealthy) targets at a range of 400km, and stealthy targets and cruise missiles at 90km. The old analog cockpit has been completely upgraded to a full ‘glass cockpit’ featuring two large liquid crystal display monitors with the latest digital fly-by-wire flight control system. At present, there are two Su-35 variants: the Su-35S, produced for domestic Russian military use, and the Su-35K export model.
