Historical information: The Sukhoj Su-25 Frogfoot aircraft is one of the most recognizable Soviet/Russian close air support attack planes, known for its exceptional durability and its role in numerous armed conflicts (Afghanistan, Chechen wars, the Georgia conflict, Ukraine). The distinctive Su-25 landing gear, designed for use on unprepared field airstrips, features robust wheels and extensive mudguards to protect mechanisms from dirt during takeoff and landing in challenging conditions.

Recommendation: We especially recommend the Armory Models AW72063 set to advanced modelers who are looking for top-level details to represent the Su-25’s operational realities in field conditions. Difficulty level: 2/5 – parts require basic finishing and the use of cyanoacrylate glue. An excellent choice for fans of Soviet/Russian aviation and collectors of modern conflict equipment models.

By investing in this detail set, you will emphasize the realism of your Su-25 Frogfoot replica by adding its characteristic look with the aircraft "settled" on deformed tires and faithfully reproduced mudguards, typical of front-line aircraft in service.
