From the manufacturer:
Su-33UB is a two-set trainer/strike version of the Su-33 naval deck fighter. The trainer features the general "integral triplane layout" of the latest Sukhoi aircraft. It has a side-by-side cockpit similar to the Su-34 strike aircraft, but has the round nose of its naval predecessor. The Su-33UB also has completely new wings that are larger by a third, providing a 15 to 20% range increase and allowing for low landing speeds. The side-by-side arrangement for the trainer was chosen to provide the naval pilots with "a feeling of a friend at their elbow," and to reduce the workload on the crew. It also will reducd the workload during combat missioins, where the pilot sits "elbow-to-elbow" with a weapons officer.
Molded in gray and clear plastic; includes decals for 2 versions.
