Able Archer/ RFR rules (?) - Russian invasion of Ukraine 2022 in 20mm (part 16) - Ukrainian Su-25s

 


The Su-25 was and still is the main ground attack aircraft of the PS ZSU. The Ukrainian air force went to war with 43 flyable Su-25s, got an extra 18 airframes from Macedonia and Bulgaria and lost at least 20 of the jets in action, leaving at most 41 in service.  The models came from Aliexpress and they build very easily with all parts already painted (thus two Number 9...). This is great as the digital camouflage is very hard to paint and that reason is kepting me from making a Su-27 and a pair of Mig-29 from the stash.
 They are meant to be toys and a few details are missing like the front sensors. The aircraft stands were painted to look like the Altaya stands in the collection. 


I have all aircraft for this conflict with pilots inside and these last ones were the only addition. 


They came with some simple wheels and if you don´t use them some holes will be left to be seen. Nothing you can´t live with as this angle is not seen in wargaming (I hope...).

Next: More Retroaranda models for WW2 or more Napoleonics.
