Trumpeter 01624 Su-15 Flagon-A Scale Kit Intro

The Sukhoi Su-15, designated "Flagon" by NATO, traces its roots to the 1950s and served through the early 1990s. Renowned for its high speed capability in excess of Mach 2.4, the aircraft combined delta wing geometry and powerful twin engines to fulfil interceptor duties.

Assembly Features and Scale Accuracy

Trumpeter's 1:72 Su-15 Flagon-A kit comprises 100 plastic parts that reproduce defining elements such as the pointed nose and the clear bubble canopy. The assembled model measures 320.24mm long with a 118.73mm wingspan, giving modellers accurate scale representation for display.

Display Considerations and Historical Notes

As a symbol of Cold War air defence, the Su-15 model works well within collections focused on that era. Careful finishing and the supplied marking options will enhance its authenticity when shown alongside similar jets.

Yes, modellers often add resin or photo-etch detail sets, refine cockpit details, or replace antennas for extra realism, though the stock kit already offers solid baseline detail.
The kit is moderate in difficulty. Accurate alignment and neat paintwork are the main challenges, but no advanced modelling skills are strictly required.
Mask the clear parts with low tack tape or liquid mask prior to spraying. Fit the canopy after major painting if you prefer to avoid overspray on the clear parts.
