Historical Background
The Sukhoi Su-27 "Flanker", first flown in the 1970s, remains a pillar of Russian (and previously Soviet) air defense due to its agility, high thrust-to-weight ratio, and advanced avionics. Operational readiness for such an air superiority platform includes careful ground handling procedures—like secure wheel chocks, robust ladders for pilot access, and traction pads on the tarmac—to accommodate its size and power. Su-27 variants serve globally under various air arms, each employing standardized ground equipment to expedite pre-flight checks, maintenance, and operational turnaround. By employing these color photo-etched parts in your Zvezda Su-27 kit, you emphasize the crucial airfield support infrastructure that maintains the Flanker’s readiness, capturing the engineering and coordination needed to keep a frontline fighter primed for combat.

- Affix them with cyanoacrylate (CA) glue or appropriate adhesives.
