This model of the AL-31F engine on a maintenance trolley in 1:72 is a printed accessory for airfield dioramas. It is not an airplane model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A detail accessory from the Russian manufacturer Temp Models in 1:72 scale, printed from photopolymer. The manufacturer lists it as the AL-31F engine on a maintenance trolley, that is as a separate powerplant removed from an aircraft. It serves above all for maintenance dioramas and does not replace an aircraft model.
The AL-31F is a twin-shaft turbofan engine with an afterburner, built on a modular basis. For it the manufacturer lists the gas generator, the annular combustion chamber, the afterburner with its nozzle, the accessory gearbox and the control system. It was precisely the modular construction that made it possible to change an engine at the base itself, so a removed unit on a trolley was a common sight in a hangar.
The parts are printed from photopolymer, so thin print supports are left on them. Cut them away with a sharp scalpel or photo-etch nippers and sand the pad they leave with fine abrasive paper. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, that is with super glue, because polystyrene cement has no effect on this material. Lay down a filler primer before painting; it will at the same time reveal any remains of the supports. 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.
