Italeri 1/48 Mikoyan MiG-27 Flogger D # 2817

The variable-sweep fighter-bomber Mikoyan-Gurevich Mig-27 (NATO designation Flogger D), was developed by the Soviet aviation industry from the airframe of the Mig-23 fighter to make it more operationally effective, in both ground attack and close support roles.

The aerodynamic layout was essentially that of the Mig-23 fighter but with a different nose configuration.

To better meet the new role assigned to the aircraft, the onboard avionics were upgraded with new electronic countermeasure systems and radar equipment for detecting, acquiring and ‘painting’ ground targets.

The offensive armaments were further upgraded with the adoption of a new, more powerful 6-barrel 30 mm cannon than that of the Mig-23, and the option of carrying an offensive load up to 4,000kg, which included the new air-to-surface missiles.
