Trumpeter 02271 1/32 Sukhoi Su-30MKK Flanker G

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

First Su-27PU (T10PU-5) was refurbished and rebuilt to serve as an Su-30MKK development aircraft, first flying in its new guise on 9 March 1999. First KnAAPO-built prototype (“501”) flew 19 May 1999 (sometimes reported as 20 February 1999), with second (“502”, in basic Chinese camouflage scheme but marked simply as Su-30MK, not MKK) following later in 1999. “501” and “502” representative of planned production configuration, with tall, flat-topped Su-35-type tailfins, retractable in-flight refuelling probes and (according to some sources) Su-35-type radomes. Total of 40 on order for the PLA Air Force, the first batch of 10 being delivered from Komsomolsk to Nanjing on 20 December 2000 although a first aircraft had been handed over in China during August 2000. Chinese production of the “Flanker” mabe will switch from the J-11 to the Su-30MKK after 80 aircraft.
