Su-30MKM M52-14 TUDM LIMA 2013 in 1:72 scale
This is the Su-30MKM M52-14 TUDM LIMA 2013 in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The Su-30MKM “M52‑14” of the Royal Malaysian Air Force, displayed at LIMA 2013, is a standout among multirole fighters for its East‑meets‑West avionics suite and supermaneuverability. Fitted with Russian thrust-vectoring AL‑31FP engines and canards, it delivers exceptional agility in close combat. But what truly sets it apart is its integration of Western systems—Thales HUD, NAVFLIR, Damocles targeting pod, and Saab missile‑warning sensors—making it a rare hybrid capable of SEAD, air-to-air, and precision strike missions with equal prowess. This blend of technologies not only elevated the Su‑30 into one of Southeast Asia's most advanced fighters but also showcased Malaysia's strategic choice for multinational interoperability.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
