Historical Background

The swing‑wing Su‑24M entered service in 1983, adding laser‑designator nose gear and updated navigation to the earlier Su‑24. The dedicated Su‑24MR reconnaissance variant swapped the internal gun for cameras and ELINT sensors. Known as “Fencer‑D/E,” the twin‑seat jet saw action from Afghanistan to Syria. Its distinctive side‑by‑side cockpit, split‑intake FOD doors and vent‑packed fuselage are reproduced faithfully in this Microdesign set, letting your model reflect the rugged look of Russia’s low‑level bomber.

How to Use

Follow these steps to enhance your model:

1. Carefully remove the photo-etched components using precision tools.
2. Clean the attachment points on your model for a smooth fit.
