Trumpeter 02811 1/48 Scale Sukhoi Su-15TM Flagon-F Kit Overview

The Sukhoi Su-15TM Flagon-F, a landmark interceptor from the Cold War era, is faithfully reproduced in this 1/48 scale kit by Trumpeter. The model highlights the Su-15TM's distinctive ogive nose and the radar-related detailing that made the type notable, giving builders a focused and accurate assembly project. Components are laid out to reflect the aircraft's form and systems without unnecessary simplification.

Cold War Development and Onboard Systems

Developed in the early 1970s, the Su-15TM entered production between 1971 and 1975 and carried avionics and interception systems of its day, including the SAU-58-2 control features. This kit lets modelers study the Su-15TM's external lines and interpret the aircraft's operational role during that period.

Modeling Appeal

At 1/48 scale the Trumpeter kit balances size and detail, making it suitable for experienced builders and dedicated collectors. The parts reflect the Su-15TM's unique silhouette, and the build sequence supports careful detailing and finishing for a convincing display piece.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for realistic finish
The kit has precise parts and moderate complexity; it is best suited to modellers with some experience in subassembly and careful painting. Taking time on fit and seam work yields the best results.
Basic modelling tools plus a good plastic cement, fine sanding tools, and hobby paints are essential. A sharp knife, tweezers and small brushes help with the finer cockpit and nose details.
The kit typically includes water-slide decals for common markings; check the box art and instructions for available schemes and correct placement guidance.
