The MiG-23BN is a developmental version of the well-known Soviet MiG-23 fighter, an assault and fighter-bomber variant that was widely used from the late 1970s onwards by the Soviet Union, later the Russian army, and allied countries. Late versions featured a modified engine and a new exhaust nozzle, significantly different from earlier models, which influenced both the performance and the recognizability of the aircraft. The MiG-23BN participated in numerous conflicts during the Cold War, including the Iran-Iraq War and the Afghan conflict.

The Aires set allows for detailed reproduction of a key section of the model—namely, the open, late exhaust nozzle, with precisely rendered plates, rivets, and internal structures not visible in standard kits. The high-quality resin and crisp details make this set an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced modelers wishing to recreate the realism and unique appearance of MiG-23BN engines.

The assembly difficulty of the set is rated as 3/5. It is recommended both for enthusiasts of Soviet and Cold War aircraft, as well as collectors and aviation modeling aficionados who wish to elevate their miniature to showcase or competition level.

We recommend the Aires 4748 MiG-23BN late exhaust nozzle - opened 1/48 to anyone who values high realism, excellent fit, and historically accurate details in their models.
