The Su-33 is the navalized version of the Su-27 Flanker with the following tweaks for carrier operations:
+ Enlarged wings
+ Strengthened wheel base and undercarriage
+ Folding wings
+ Improved engines

Hasegawa’s kit has lovely details for this scale, and goes together very well. Armaments are included in this kit to load it out with R27s R73and R77 missiles.

Only downside is the lack of a pilot, and some of the panel lines are a bit too fine, so a bit of rescribing will be needed to allow it to take on the wash - I.E. no deal breakers with this kit
