Eduard 648509 MiG-23BN Exhaust Nozzle 1/48 – A dedicated set for demanding modelers

Eduard 648509 MiG-23BN exhaust nozzle in 1/48 scale is a high-quality accessory set that allows you to significantly enhance the realism of MiG-23BN models produced by Eduard and Trumpeter. This product is aimed at those who wish to enrich their models with details unattainable using standard plastic parts.

The Eduard 648509 set allows for a faithful reproduction of the exhaust nozzle of the MiG-23BN engine, the Soviet ground-attack fighter widely used from the Cold War era up to the 1990s. The MiG-23BN was a popular aircraft within the structure of the Soviet air force as well as numerous allied armies and export users. It participated, among others, in conflicts in the Middle East (e.g. the Iran-Iraq war) as well as regional clashes in Africa and Asia.

The precision of surface details, nozzles, and thermal components characteristic of the MiG-23BN's nozzle significantly exceeds the elements included in basic model kits. The resin casting technology ensures very sharp detail and a perfect fit for Eduard and Trumpeter kits. Thanks to this, modelers gain the ability to create an exceptionally realistic finish to the rear fuselage section of their aircraft.

The set does not include photo-etched parts, masks, or decals, so all work focuses on correct cutting, gluing, and fitting of the components. Due to the material (resin), it is recommended to use suitable tools and modeling adhesives. The assembly difficulty level is rated at 2 out of 5 – the set is easy to assemble and intended for both intermediate and experienced modelers who wish to upgrade their kit with a high-quality, realistic detail.

I recommend the Eduard 648509 MiG-23BN exhaust nozzle to all enthusiasts of Soviet aviation, as well as to those who value detail and authenticity. It's an ideal choice for those who want their MiG-23BN model to feature the highest level of craftsmanship.
