MiG-27 "Flogger-D" Soviet Fighter Bomber

Zvezda 1/72

The Mikoyan MiG-27 (Russian: Микоян МиГ-27; NATO reporting name: Flogger-D/J) was a variable-sweepground-attack aircraft, originally built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union and later licence-produced in India by Hindustan Aeronautics as the Bahadur ("Valiant"). It is based on the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23fighter aircraft,
but optimised for air-to-ground attack. Unlike the MiG-23, the MiG-27
did not have widespread use outside Russia, as most countries opted for
the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23BN and Sukhoi Su-22
instead. As of late 2023, all Russian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Ukrainian,
and Kazakh MiG-27s have been retired, bringing the type's service to an
end.

MiG-27 (MiG-23BM)

This was the first in the MiG-27 family to have a canopy without the
central frame, suggesting that the ejection seat was designed to
directly break through the transparency. The dielectric head above the
pylon on the MiG-23 was used on the MiG-27 to house electro-optical and
radio-frequency gear instead. It was also the first variant armed with a
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-30M Gatling gun. Its NATO reporting name was Flogger-D.
