MiG-25PD, Jet nozzles (for ICM) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR4830

Metallic Details MDR4830 is a resin upgrade set for the MiG-25PD in 1/48, designed for the ICM kit. The set contains 11 resin parts for detailing the jet nozzles, aimed at improving the depth and edge definition in the exhaust area.

The practical focus is rear-end realism: nozzle interiors and petal edges are a natural focal point on a large 1/48 interceptor. Resin parts can give cleaner circular geometry and deeper internal structure than many one-piece kit parts once primer and metallic tones are applied (fit is kit-dependent).

The MiG-25PD is an interceptor variant within the MiG-25 family. This set is limited to the jet nozzle area, letting you keep the rest of the airframe build aligned with your chosen kit parts and references.

For modelers: dry-fit the nozzle parts inside the fuselage/exhaust tunnel before painting to confirm depth and alignment. Paint the inner sections first, then add heat-stain effects gradually with thin layers; keep the mating surfaces paint-free for stronger bonds. If you plan to blend seams, do it before final metallic coats to avoid sanding through the finish.

FAQ

Is this set designed for a specific kit brand?

Yes. It is listed for the ICM 1/48 MiG-25PD kit. Test-fit the parts before painting to confirm alignment and depth.

Should I paint the nozzles before installing them?

Often yes—paint inner sections first, keep glue surfaces clean, and assemble once you are satisfied with the base metallic finish.

How do I avoid a seam showing through metallic paint?

Blend and sand seams before applying final metallic coats. A primer check coat helps reveal any steps or gaps early.
