Okay, so the Ghost of Kiev (Kyiv) was confirmed to be a myth, a symbol of the Ukrainian fight against Russian adversaries but that still didn't stop master modeler Rabin Thaver from building GWH's 1/48 Su27P1M in the striking digital livery of Blue 39 and thus bringing Ukraine's Ghost to life in scale.

The kit used was a 1/48 Great Wall Hobby's (GWH) Su27 'Flanker B' Heavy Fighter (No. L4824).

Foxbot decals and masks (48047A) were used to achieve the digital effect, in addition to Galaxy masks for generic masking.

We would love to hear what you think about this build! Be sure to leave us a comment! : ) And don't worry, we didn't forget about the MiG29, which typically is the face of the ghost, as you will see in a later video...

On our Facebook page, we feature a weekly aircraft of history using a professionally built 1/48 model, and also release previously unpublished aircraft archival photos!
