In August of 2012 Su-25SM c/n 25508110393 “06 Red” had just completed an updating service which included a new paint scheme of the latest dark grey. The work was performed by the 121 AOP located at Kubinka and hadn’t been returned to operational duty but was put on display at Zhukovsky as part of the celebration of the Russian Air Force 100th Anniversary Air Show. The Russian Air Force has approximately 250 Su-25s with over 80 of them upgraded to the new SM standards.

In 1999 Russia decided to upgrade their Su-25s with actual work beginning in 2001. The first of the upgraded aircraft designated Su-25SM (Stroyevoy Modernizirovannyi) Grach (Rook) flew on March 3, 2002 with the first six aircraft entering service with the Russian Air Force in December of 2006. The modernization was intended to expand the life of the Su-25, make it All-Weather capable, more lethal and reduce operating and maintenance cost. The upgrades also increased ordnance loads and a wider selection of ordnance was also added.


Hobby Master offers a wide selection of quality, pre-assembled, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted to a high level of accuracy using specifications of the original aircraft. They are constructed with precision-made diecast metal and some plastic components.
