Monogram 1/48 Su-25 Frogfoot

I did this one quite a few years back. I added a little detail in the cockpit and swapped out some of the ordnance for some Cutting Edge EOGBs. Paints are Aeromaster and the decals are SuperScale for a Soviet Frogfoot in East Germany during the Cold War.

Very nicely done. One of those so ugly its good looking planes

Well done! It feels weird to see it often on the news and social media since the invasion.

Very nice,a real brute,wasn't it supposed to be their answer to the A-10

Great camo. I've wanted one of these for some time. Wicked looking beast.

Very nice! I had the same kit but I think I gave it to someone when I thought that we were getting a state of the art new kit of it. I haven't heard anything at all about how good the Zveda kit is.

Thanks guys!

TJ, yeah like the Warthog, it's a face only its' mother could love...

Andy, Right?! These things are sure active in Ukraine now. But they've been fighting constantly all over since first went into squadron service in the 80's. A very combat proven aircraft.

Tony, yes the Frogfoot does fill the same CAS role as the A-10... and also bears a striking resemblance to the A-10's fly off competitor, the Northrop A-9.

John, this is not a bad kit at all. Three things to address, a replacement seat, the nose antennas configuration, and ordnance.

Mike, I'm sure that the Zvezda kit is more accurate, and does not have the few shortcomings of this kit. But availability is a problem with the current Russia situation.
