Italeri 2798 MiG-23 MF/BN FLOGGER 1/48 – plastic model kit of a combat aircraft

The Italeri 2798 MiG-23 MF/BN FLOGGER in 1/48 scale is a detailed replica of one of the most recognizable interceptor fighters of the Cold War era. The MiG-23, produced by the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau, became famous as the first Soviet front-line fighter to feature variable-sweep wings. This aircraft was operated from the early 1970s by the Soviet forces and allied countries, including Poland, East Germany, Syria, and India, as well as numerous Eastern Bloc and Third World nations.

The MF (front-line fighter) and BN (light fighter-bomber) variants were used for both air combat and ground attack missions. The MiG-23 played an important role in local conflicts, such as the Afghan War, Middle East conflicts, and in Yugoslavia. Serial production lasted from 1969 to 1985.

The Italeri kit is distinguished by excellent detailing and advanced injection-molding technology. Inside the box, you will find high-quality plastic parts with sharply rendered panel lines, cockpit, armament, and landing gear details. The kit allows you to build one of the two versions with the help of optional parts. A special advantage is the inclusion of decals with Polish markings, making it an ideal choice for modelers interested in the Polish Air Force aviation.
