The AL-31FP engine nozzles for the Su-30SM in 1:72 replace the plastic exhaust nozzles from the kit with printed parts. It is an accessory, not an aircraft model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A detail set from the Russian manufacturer Temp Models in 1:72 scale, printed from photopolymer. It holds the exhaust nozzles of the AL-31FP engines in the form for the Su-30SM. It replaces the plastic nozzles from the kit and does not make up an aircraft model on its own.
The AL-31FP is the version of the turbofan engine with an afterburner that adds thrust vectoring: the whole exhaust nozzle can swivel, so the aircraft gains agility even at speeds where aerodynamic controls are no longer enough. Those deflected nozzles rank among the most distinctive marks of the Su-30SM, and plastic kits usually capture them only in the neutral position and with a simplified surface.
Cut the print supports away with a scalpel and sand the pads carefully, because every unevenness shows clearly in the mouth of a nozzle. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue, that is with super glue. If you deflect the nozzles, check against photographs how a parked aircraft looks. The inside of the nozzle looks best in metallic shades with heat staining, laid over a smooth gloss base. Sanding is best done wet and with respiratory protection.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
