Welcome to Episode 1 of my brand-new build series featuring the Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker B in 1/48 scale from Great Wall Hobby (GWH)! In this first part of the series, I’ll not only take you through the kit’s contents but also begin the build by assembling and detailing the K-36DM ejection seat and cockpit — two of the most important and eye-catching parts of this stunning aircraft model. The Su-27 Flanker B is one of the most recognizable and powerful jet fighters in aviation history, admired for its elegant lines, incredible agility, and Cold War heritage. The GWH 1/48 kit captures this aircraft beautifully, offering excellent fit, sharp surface detail, and a realistic representation of the real jet’s structure. 👉 In this episode, you’ll see: ✅ The first look at the Great Wall Hobby Su-27 kit ✅ Step-by-step assembly of the K-36DM ejection seat ✅ Step-by-step assembly of the cockpit interior ✅ A dry fit test with the aircraft’s fuselage to check the alignment and precision of the parts This is just the beginning of a larger Su-27 project, so make sure to follow along for future episodes, where I’ll cover the airframe assembly, painting, weathering, and final touches to bring this Flanker to life! ☕ Support the channel: Buy me a coffee ➤ https://suppi.pl/mrtrumpeter Join my community ➤ https://patronite.pl/mrtrumpeter 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more aircraft model builds, tutorials, tips, event reports, and tool tests from the world of scale modeling. 💬 What’s your favorite 1/48 modern jet kit?
