Mikoyan MiG-29, Jet Nozzles (opened) Resin, Photoetch Scale 1:72 (Recommended for kit: Zvezda, Trumpeter) Metallic Details MDR7234 - For Model Kits Aircraft

Metallic Details MDR7234 Jet Nozzles (Opened) Detail Set includes resin and photo-etched parts for the Mikoyan MiG-29 in 1/72, designed for Zvezda and Trumpeter kits. The set is aimed at the exhaust end, where opened nozzle petals and inner detail are hard to capture with simplified kit parts.

Opened nozzles change the look of the rear fuselage and draw attention to depth and edge definition. This upgrade supports a cleaner exhaust profile and more convincing internal structure in the nozzle area (kit-dependent).

For modelers: dry-fit the nozzle parts with the rear fuselage before painting to confirm diameter and centering. Paint the inner nozzle surfaces first, then add the outer petal details; keep glue away from visible edges by using small attachment points and checking alignment from the rear view before it sets.

FAQ

Is this set designed specifically for Zvezda and Trumpeter kits?

Yes. MDR7234 is intended for 1/72 MiG-29 kits from Zvezda and Trumpeter. If you plan to use it with other kits, expect additional fit checks.

What does “opened” jet nozzles mean for the model?

It represents a nozzle configuration with the petals shown in an open position, making the interior more visible and changing the rear-profile look compared with a closed nozzle.

What is a practical installation order?

Test-fit and center the resin nozzle parts first, then add the photo-etched details once the main position is fixed. Final alignment is easiest to judge by looking straight into the rear opening.
