At one time the most numerous aircraft type in service on the globe, the Flogger will probably remain important until the centuries turn.

My Flogger carries AA-8 Aphids and AA-7 APEX (one IR and one SARH).

I relied on the kits instructions for camouflage colors and pattern.

The kits cockpit glass is cleverly designed to snap into open or closed position.

With wings swept at 72 degrees the fogger can reach top speed of 1,520mph (Mach 2.31).

A great look at the massive Tumanski R-29-300 afterburning turbofan engine.

In case anyone noticed in the photos... I had lost the ventral fin somewhere down the line. Right after I posted these photos, Shawn Lynch (Dallas, Texas) contacted me and donated the missing piece from his collection. Thanks Man!

Hasegawa did a pretty good job on the complicated-looking yet simple landing gear.

My hand gives away the compact size of the Flogger.

The cockpit needed lots of work (this is an old kit) I threw away the "Lazyboy Lounger" right away and dropped in an awesome resin KM1 from True Details. I added a homemade hud and lots of scratch "gadgets".

Kit: Hasegawa #01711

Scale: 1/72

Decals: Box Stock. Good quality crisp stuff. Now that mine is all finished, I've seen some awesome aftermarket sets with much better data markings.

After Market Parts: True Details KM1 Ejection Seat Stock #45002, DML Modern Soviet Aircraft Weapons Kit #2504

Cost/Value: Definately a great kit for under 20 bucks.

Comments: I built this kit many years ago so I'm going by memory, but I did get my unbuilt Hasegawa Mig-27 out of the box to check myself. This kit fits together extremely well. Crisp raised panel lines. Expect to make your own interior. Decals are good just sans any data and stenciling.
