1/72 Su‑24M / Su‑24MR 'Engine Nozzles' (Trumpeter) Photo‑Etched Detailing Kit (Microdesign MD072068)

What Is It?

Inject turbine‑grade realism into your Su‑24M or Su‑24MR “Fencer” with this precision brass exhaust‑nozzle set. Designed for the Trumpeter 1/72 kit, the fret supplies seven finely etched segments that fold and interlock to recreate the afterburner “turkey feathers,” flame holder ring and petal‑hinge straps of the Lyulka AL‑21F‑3 turbo‑jets. Manufactured from robust 0 .15mm brass, every cooling slot and panel overlap appears at authentic thickness—turning the rear end of your swing‑wing bomber into a metal‑textured focal point. Whether you are replicating a Su-24M/MR or creating a airfield diorama, This kit ensures authenticity and precision. The components are lightweight yet sturdy, allowing for easy handling during assembly. By using this kit, you can transform your Su-24M/MR model into a MASTERPIECE with museum-quality detail. The brass material provides durability while maintaining a fine, realistic appearance, making it an essential addition for any model enthusiast.

Product Details

Kit Composition

Historical Background

The Lyulka AL‑21F‑3 turbo‑jet powering the Su‑24 produces 24,700 lbf with afterburner. Its complex titanium petal nozzles incorporate cooling slots and overlapping feathers for thermal management—hallmarks often simplified in plastic. Microdesign’s brass set corrects that, letting modelers depict the burnt steel and violet‑heat tints seen on well‑used “Fencers” from Afghanistan to Ukraine.

1. Carefully remove the photo-etched components using precision tools.
2. Clean the attachment points on your model for a smooth fit.
3. Bend and shape components using tweezers or a photo-etch bending tool.
4. Secure parts with cyanoacrylate glue for a durable hold.
