Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker-B Aircraft "Blue 388 Paris Air Show" Soviet Air Force | Legion 1:100: Scale, Subject & Display Guide
Rather than repeating the catalog description for Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker-B Aircraft "Blue 388 Paris Air Show" Soviet Air Force | Legion 1:100, this guide turns the scale model aircraft listing into a decision record. It explains how the Legion item is identified, how the available evidence should be read, and where confirmation is still required.

A correct match requires more than recognizing the brand. The scale marker 1:100 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The year 1989 belongs to the listing identity; it should not automatically be treated as the manufacturing date of the item. The SKU F977-LEG-14701LC provides the most efficient cross-check when another listing uses slightly different punctuation or wording.

How to evaluate this product type
For a diecast or scale collectible, the subject name alone is insufficient. Compare body casting, finish, graphics, wheel design, interior, base markings and packaging format. On Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker-B Aircraft "Blue 388 Paris Air Show" Soviet Air Force | Legion 1:100, the exact photo set and SKU F977-LEG-14701LC are the reference pair; a model with the same vehicle name but a different wheel, road number or package is a different release.
Condition language must also match the format. A loose item is judged from the photographed surfaces and axles, while a packaged item adds card, blister, box and seal condition. A finished custom should be assessed for workmanship and disclosed modifications; a build kit should be assessed for included parts and fitment rather than as a completed collectible.
Second-pass inspection
When comparing another example, line up the images in the same order and inspect one feature at a time: front view, side graphics, rear treatment, wheel pattern, roof or hood markings, base text and package. A difference in any of those areas can indicate a variation rather than an error.
For display, choose storage that supports the item without pressing on mirrors, spoilers, blister edges or axles. For a build, dry-fit wheels and moving parts before paint or permanent adhesive. The product format determines which of those checks applies.
Why the exact photo set matters
Review all 3 available images in sequence rather than judging the item from the first thumbnail. Front, side, reverse, package and detail views answer different questions. The record is strongest when those views agree with the title and SKU F977-LEG-14701LC.
Pre-purchase checklist for this exact record
- Identity: title, vendor and SKU F977-LEG-14701LC agree.
- Contents: included pieces and quantity are explicit.

How to document it after purchase
The permanent record should answer three questions: what exact item was bought, what arrived, and how it was used or stored. The title and F977-LEG-14701LC answer the first; arrival photographs answer the second; project or collection notes answer the third.
Keeping those layers separate improves future comparisons and avoids unsupported grading.
Gift considerations
Gift buyers should match F977-LEG-14701LC to a known collection, project or preference. If size, scale, interface or exact version is uncertain, preserve the receipt and avoid opening fit-sensitive packaging.
