Inspecting the Academy 1/72 M-27 Flogger-D Scale Kit

The Academy 1/72 M-27 Flogger-D produces a faithful small-scale copy of the Cold War era fighter, emphasising the jets distinctive variable-geometry wing. The moulding captures essential lines so modellers can recreate a convincing miniature example.

Design Era and Collector Appeal

Originating from a phase of fast paced aircraft innovation, the M-27 Flogger-D featured swing-wings to optimise flight at different speeds. For collectors and builders, the kit provides an accurate reference to the period and a rewarding assembly challenge for those comfortable with detail work.

Assembly Guidance and Showcase Uses

Best suited to those at an intermediate level, the kit requires clean assembly and some filler work to hide seams. Once painted and decaled, the compact model is ideal for cabinet display or as part of a Cold War aviation grouping.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Assembly time varies by skill, but expect several evenings for careful fitting, sanding and painting to reach a tidy finish.
Standard plastic model cement works well; use liquid solvents for stronger joins on thin or stressed parts and cyanoacrylate for quick fixes on small items.
Use subtle panel shading, thin washes and careful weathering to bring out panel lines and surface detail without overpowering the small scale.
