Behind the Academy 1/72 M-27 Flogger-D Kit

The Academy 1/72 scale M-27 Flogger-D kit captures the look of a classic Cold War fighter in compact form, with particular attention to the swing-wing silhouette. The parts layout aims to balance ease of fit with sufficient detail for a credible finished model.

Operational History and Modelling Interest

Conceived in an era of rapid military aviation development, the M-27 Flogger-D was notable for its variable sweep wing that allowed role flexibility. Model builders will find this kit useful for studying that design and practising accurate assembly techniques.

Construction Tips and Presentation

Suited to intermediate builders, the kit benefits from careful test-fitting and seam treatment to maintain scale appearance. After painting and finishing, the completed model works well as part of a historical display or as a standalone shelf piece.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
The kit cockpit is well moulded but can be enhanced with aftermarket seats or photo-etched instruments for a more realistic look at close inspection.
Landing gear components are delicate; reinforce joints with a small pin or use careful gluing to ensure they support the model on a flat surface.
The kit does not include a moveable mechanism, but with careful modification you can pose the wings in different positions; this requires extra work and planning.
