1:48 Su-25 Ukrainian and Russian Losses of the WAR 2022

Decals for the Su-25, losses of 2022, 1:48 scale, HAD models

The set is a standalone sheet of decals for models of the Su-25 ground-attack aircraft in 1:48 scale. In theme it is aimed at machines of the Ukrainian and the Russian side that were recorded as lost in 2022. This is a documentary theme worked up as modeling markings, not a kit. The particular list of machines, their numbers and the extent of the stencils are in the instructions enclosed with the set.

The real subject

The Su-25 is a single-seat twin-engine subsonic ground-attack aircraft intended for the support of ground forces. Characteristic of it are an armored cockpit, a rugged structure and a large number of pylons under the straight wing. It is precisely the nature of its tasks, that is, deployment at low altitude over the battlefield, that makes it a type with a high degree of wear, and that tells on the look of the individual machines too.

How to apply the decals

First varnish the surface under the decal with a gloss varnish, as on a matte surface white patches would form under the film. Immerse the cut-out motif in lukewarm water, let it rest on the paper for a while and only then slide it onto the dampened surface of the model. Settling into the engraved lines is supported by a softener. Apply it sparingly, as the decal goes soft under it and could be damaged until it has dried. Finally seal the surface with a matte or satin varnish.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who build the Su-25 in 1:48 scale and are looking for markings tied to a particular time.
• Those who document equipment deployed in 2022.
• Builders who want to build several variants from one kit.
• Collectors of models of modern ground-attack aircraft.

This is a supplementary set of decals, not a model of an airplane. The kit, paints and varnishes are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
