The MiG-23BN is the fighter-bomber version of the famous MiG-23 aircraft, produced in the Soviet Union and operated by, among others, the USSR military and numerous Warsaw Pact countries as well as export customers (such as India, Libya, and Bulgaria). These aircraft were actively used from the 1970s during the Cold War up to the early 21st century. The MiG-23BN participated in many local conflicts, including Afghanistan, the Iran–Iraq war, and Middle Eastern conflicts.

This set greatly facilitates model construction and allows for the accurate representation of the complex air intakes, which in the original had many visible details and characteristic panel lines. The accessories included in the set make it easy to mask components during painting, which will be particularly appreciated by advanced modelers focused on realism and perfect finishing.

Recommendation: This product is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers, especially fans of Soviet aviation from the Cold War era. The assembly difficulty is rated at 3/5 – it requires basic skills in working with resin and photo-etched parts.

If you care about uncompromising detail and historical accuracy, the Eduard 648510 MiG-23BN engine air intakes in 1/48 scale is an excellent choice to upgrade your model!
