Trumpeter 02810 Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon-A (1/48) – plastic model kit

Trumpeter 02810 Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon-A in 1/48 scale is a high-quality plastic model interceptor aircraft, crafted with great attention to detail. This model is a faithful miniature of the Soviet interceptor fighter Su-15, designated by NATO as "Flagon-A." Armed and efficient, the Su-15 was one of the cornerstones of Soviet air defense during the Cold War.

• Operator country: Soviet Union
• Scale: 1/48
• Service period: Cold War (1960s–90s)
• Category: plastic model kit
• Material: high-quality plastic

Manufactured by Trumpeter, the Su-15 Flagon-A kit reflects the original aircraft with remarkable precision. The real Su-15 entered service in the early 1960s, serving primarily as the main interceptor of the USSR Air Force. These jets played a key role during the Cold War – stationed in strategic regions, with their most famous episode being the downing of the Korean Air Lines Boeing 747 in 1983.

The Trumpeter 02810 kit consists of precisely reproduced fuselage and wing components, as well as detailed cockpit parts. The model includes optional weapon payloads and detailed decals, allowing builders to recreate authentic USSR Air Force color schemes.

• Detailed cockpit and landing gear components
• Realistic representation of panels and rivets
• Decals allowing for model customization
• Suspended rockets and armament components

This kit is ideal for intermediate and advanced modelers, especially fans of military aviation and Soviet Cold War designs. Assembly of the kit requires precise plastic modeling gluing and painting skills (difficulty level 4/5). The model does not include glue or paints – these need to be purchased separately.

We highly recommend the Trumpeter 02810 Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon-A as a unique addition to the collections of military aviation enthusiasts and anyone wishing to take on a modeling challenge involving Cold War Soviet equipment.
