Sukhoi Su-27, Jet Nozzles Detailing set (Resin) Scale 1:72 (Recommended for kit: Zvezda, Hasegawa, HobbyBoss) Metallic Details MDR7212 - For Aircraft Model Kit

Metallic Details MDR7212 is a resin jet nozzles set for the Sukhoi Su-27 in 1/72, recommended for Zvezda, Hasegawa, and HobbyBoss kits. The practical focus is the tail-end finish: sharper nozzle petal edges and a cleaner nozzle “ring” profile that reads clearly even in a small scale.

The set includes 10 resin parts intended for nozzle detailing. This is an upgrade parts set only; the aircraft kit is not included.

The Su-27 is a twin-engine jet aircraft, so the rear view often highlights symmetry between the two nozzles. This set targets that area while staying within the kit’s overall layout (kit-dependent).

For modelers: dry-fit both nozzles early and compare their depth from the tail view so they sit evenly side-by-side. Check the tailpipe openings and the surrounding fuselage edges before glue, then correct any mismatch before paint. Prime after washing the resin parts, paint the inner nozzle areas first, and attach late in the build to reduce handling damage.

FAQ

Will this set fit any 1/72 Su-27 kit?

It is recommended for Zvezda, Hasegawa, and HobbyBoss. Other toolings may differ in tailpipe diameter and mounting depth, so plan for careful test-fitting.

How do I keep both nozzles aligned on a twin-engine model?

Dry-fit both parts together and compare their depth from the rear. Mark a reference line or use a simple spacer so both nozzles sit at the same distance before the glue sets.

What glue and prep steps are typical for resin nozzles?

Wash resin parts before priming, then use CA glue for attachment. Paint inner nozzle areas first and attach late to avoid rubbing paint off the edges.
