Understanding the 1/48 MiG-23M Flogger-B kit

The Trumpeter 02853 model recreates the Russian MiG-23M Flogger-B at 1/48 scale with emphasis on accurate external detail.

It is intended for modellers who appreciate scale accuracy and careful finishing.

Service history and modelled features

Deployed from the 1970s, the MiG-23M Flogger-B combined flexible wing geometry with improved avionics. Trumpeter 02853 reproduces these aspects through crisp panel engraving, a detailed cockpit layout and realistic landing gear assemblies. The design supports faithful reconstruction of the jet's profile and mechanisms.

Model building considerations and presentation

Best results come from meticulous assembly, accurate paint mixing and patient finishing. A completed MiG-23M makes an attractive centrepiece for any aviation collection or diorama. The kit rewards modellers who enjoy research-led builds and a high standard of finish.
