Hasegawa will release a 1/72 scale kit of the Su-33 Flanker D flown by Shadows from Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve. The aircraft parts are dark gray, a display stand is included, and the package uses CG imagery. New decals cover the Sotoa Air Force, 1st Special Operations Air Wing, 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 44th Flight, Lux Lunae, known as Shadows. The finished kit measures 305.5 mm long and costs 5,500 yen, scheduled for release on Wednesday, December 16, 2026.
The kit reproduces the aircraft in dark gray plastic and ships with a display stand, with the box art rendered as CG rather than a photographed build. Decals are the main event here: they carry the Sotoa Air Force, 1st Special Operations Air Wing, 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 44th Flight, Lux Lunae, the unit commonly called Shadows. The completed 1/72 airframe measures 305.5 mm nose to tail. Hasegawa lists it at 5,500 yen including tax, dated December 16, 2026, with the caveat that the photographed sample is still under development and can differ from the shipped product.
