Mikoyan MiG-23, Jet Nozzels Detailing set (Resin) Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Trumpeter) Metallic Details MDR4825 - For Aircraft Model Kit

Metallic Details MDR4825 is a resin detailing set for the Mikoyan MiG-23 in 1/48, recommended for the Trumpeter kit. The set includes 9 resin parts for the jet nozzle area and provides two nozzle versions in one package, letting you match the exhaust look to your chosen kit configuration.

The rear end is one of the most noticeable areas on a finished MiG-23, especially once you add metallic tones and heat staining. Replacing the kit nozzle with resin parts helps refine edge thickness and internal depth where injection parts can appear simplified.

For modelers: decide which nozzle version you’ll use early, then dry-fit the parts inside the kit’s rear fuselage to confirm diameter and seating depth. Remove casting blocks carefully and keep the circular lip perfectly round—light sanding on a flat surface helps. Paint the interior first, then the outer petals; finish with subtle tonal variation rather than heavy weathering to keep details readable.

FAQ

What does “two nozzle versions” mean for the build?

The set provides two alternative nozzle configurations. Choose the version that matches your intended aircraft configuration and the kit parts you’re pairing it with.

Do I need to modify the kit to fit the resin nozzle?

Minor adjustment may be needed depending on how the kit’s exhaust bay is molded. Test-fit first and sand contact areas gradually to achieve a flush seat.

How do I keep the nozzle lip circular while sanding?

Sand gently on a flat surface and rotate the part as you work. Avoid squeezing the part, and check roundness frequently against the kit opening.
