Sukhoi SU-25 Grach/Frogfoot 1:164 Scale

From Wiki:

“The Sukhoi Su-25 Grach (Russian: Грач (rook); NATO reporting name: Frogfoot) is a subsonic, single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by Sukhoi. It was designed to provide close air support for Soviet Ground Forces. The first prototype made its maiden flight on 22 February 1975.

Since entering service more than 44 years ago, the Su-25 has seen combat in several conflicts. The type was heavily involved in the Soviet–Afghan War, flying counter-insurgency missions against the Afghan Mujahideen. The Iraqi Air Force employed it against Iran during the 1980–88 Iran–Iraq War. Most Iraqi examples were later destroyed or flown to Iran in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The Georgian Air Force used Su-25s during the Abkhazian war from 1992 to 1993. The Macedonian Air Force used Su-25s against Albanian insurgents in the 2001 Macedonian conflict and, in 2008, Georgia and Russia both used Su-25s in the Russo-Georgian War. African states, including the Ivory Coast, Chad, and Sudan have used the Su-25 in local insurgencies and civil wars. Recently, the Su-25 has seen service in the Russian intervention in the Syrian civil war, the clashes of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War, and on both sides in the Russian invasion of Ukraine”

This is a remix of a wonderful model from Thingiverse by Ratmanfs.  Resized to 1:164 scale, sliced for better printing, parameters tweaked to get small parts printed, and seam lines adjusted.  Armaments turned out great!  Can likely be upscaled no problem.  Downscaling for a smaller model would likely be problematic.  Will need CA glue to assemble.  The rectangle peg connecting the tail and fuselage are tight.  I had to trim to make it fit, but also reduced it a little in the print profile (to 95%).  

Printed in Bambu PLA Basic light grey.
