Italeri 1/72 SU-33 Flanker-D: Scale naval fighter from Italeri 0197

The Italeri 1/72 SU-33 Flanker-D reproduces the look of a carrier-capable Russian fighter in a tidy 1/72 package. It gives modellers the chance to recreate the aircrafts external contours and markings for shelf displays or scale scenes.

What the kit highlights

The SU-33 is recognised for its reinforced undercarriage for carrier operations and solid airframe. The assembly focuses on exterior fidelity, offering part detail that helps capture the Flankers distinctive profile without attempting to replicate complex internal systems.

Construction notes and finishing

This Italeri release supplies well defined parts and a logical build sequence. Careful fitting and a good paint job lift the finished model, and the compact scale makes it straightforward to include in mixed collections or on a display base.
