About product

Aires 1:48 — F/A-18A Hornet exhaust nozzles (closed position)

This is a resin detail set, not an airplane model. The set replaces the final exhaust nozzles of both engines of a plastic kit of the carrier-based F/A-18A Hornet fighter with faithfully cast parts with the nozzle petals in the drawn-in (closed) position, the one that matches a machine on the ground with the engines running or shut down. The execution captures the correct inner geometry and the division of the nozzle, which a plastic part usually simplifies.

The real subject

The F/A-18 Hornet is an American twin-engine carrier-based multirole fighter operated from aircraft carriers. Its movable exhaust nozzles change their cross-section according to the engine setting; in the drawn-in position the petals are closed up. Seen from the rear of the aircraft the nozzles are a striking element where the depth and the structure of the interior stand out.

Fitting tips

Wash the mold release agent off the parts and cut off the casting blocks. Bond resin with super glue (cyanoacrylate) and sand with respiratory protection. Paint and weather the inside of the nozzles (metal shades, heat discoloration) before the final assembly. Take care to seat both nozzles in line with the rear of the fuselage.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the F/A-18A Hornet in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want faithful nozzles in the closed position
  • Advanced builders used to working with resin
  • Collectors looking for detail of the engine section

An accessory for a plastic kit. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.
