Master AM-48-059 MiG-23 MLD (Flogger K) - Pitot Tube (1/48)

The Master AM-48-059 set is intended for modelers seeking the highest quality accessories for their 1:48 scale models. This unique accessory kit is dedicated to the MiG-23 MLD aircraft (NATO designation: Flogger K) – a modernized version of the Soviet variable-geometry fighter, operated by the Soviet Air Force as well as selected Warsaw Pact and Middle Eastern countries such as the GDR, Syria, and Libya.

The original MiG-23 entered service in the late 1960s, and its advanced MLD variant was introduced in the early 1980s during the Cold War. The aircraft played a key role in local conflicts, such as the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan and in aerial combat over the Middle East. The MLD stood out with modernized avionics and improved aerodynamics.

• Scale: 1:48, compatible with modeling standards to easily integrate the accessory with most models of this size.
• The set includes a precisely turned brass Pitot tube tip and a photo-etched (etched vortex generator) fret, ensuring the highest level of detail and resistance to mechanical damage.
• Category: metal model accessories; ideal for enhancing 1:48 scale plastic aircraft model kits.

Thanks to the metal Pitot tube, you'll significantly enhance the realistic appearance of your model – this detail is not only more durable and resistant to damage than its plastic counterparts, but also does not bend or break easily. The photo-etched fret reflects detailed air vortex generators not available in standard plastic kits.

The assembly of this Master accessory is rated at 2 on a five-point difficulty scale – recommended for both intermediate and advanced aircraft modelers. The accessory is recommended for professional conversions or as a replacement for factory parts, particularly for those who value authenticity and durability. The set does not require special skills, but precision during assembly will allow you to fully exploit the detail's potential.

By investing in the Master AM-48-059, you are guaranteed the highest quality, increasing the realism and durability of your MiG-23 MLD model – one of the icons of the Cold War era.
