The Eduard FE1130 Su-27UB KITTY HAWK 1/48 set is a high-quality modeling accessory created by the renowned Czech company Eduard. It is designed for super-detailing the 1/48 scale Su-27UB aircraft model manufactured by Kitty Hawk. The product belongs to the photo-etched elements (Photo Etch, PE) category and has been designed for the most demanding modelers who want to replicate cockpit details with maximum precision and realism.

The Eduard FE1130 set is a complete cockpit interior upgrade, offering a wealth of details unavailable in a standard plastic model. The elements are carefully etched from thin brass sheet and finished with colorful printing, eliminating the need for tedious painting of the smallest switches, gauges, and instrument panels. The set includes, among others, fine levers, seat belts, side panels, and richly detailed instrument panels dedicated to the two-seat fighter version.

About the Su-27UB aircraft

The Su-27UB is the two-seat version of the Russian Su-27 Flanker fighter aircraft, which entered service in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. This variant was used both as a combat and training aircraft, operated by the air forces of Russia and other post-Soviet states. The Su-27UB saw extensive use during the Cold War period and in the years that followed, and it retains significant combat value to this day. The aircraft is easily recognizable by its characteristic two-seat (instructor + pilot) configuration.
