Historical Background

The Sukhoi Su-34 evolved from the Su-27 platform as a dedicated fighter-bomber, also referred to as the Fullback in NATO terminology. First introduced in the mid-1990s and entering service by the 2000s, the Su-34 incorporates advanced avionics, armored cockpit seating for two, and extended-range capabilities for deep strike missions. It stands as one of Russia’s primary tactical bombers, offering both air-to-surface and air-to-air proficiency—serving notable roles in conflict zones and showcasing Russia’s drive to modernize its aerial fleet. By applying these color photo-etched parts in your Zvezda kit, you pay homage to the Su-34’s innovative design, bridging the gap between a high-performance fighter and a capable strike aircraft in the modern Russian Air Force.

How to Use

Follow these steps for a rewarding assembly:

1. Remove any molded plastic detail in areas where photo-etched parts will attach (cockpit panels, seat harnesses, etc.).
2. Carefully detach each brass component from the fret using fine nippers or a sharp blade.
3. Bend or shape the parts based on the color instructions to ensure proper alignment.
4. Use cyanoacrylate (CA) glue or a similar adhesive to secure pieces in place.
