About product

The real subject

The Grumman F-14A Tomcat is a two-seat, twin-engine carrier fighter with a variable-geometry wing. The exhaust nozzles at the end of the fuselage are made up of movable petals and their cross-section changes with the engine setting. The closed position means the petals drawn together, so the tail is narrower and the longitudinal gaps between the petals stand out better.

What the set contains

Replacement nozzles in the closed position for the F-14A model in 1:32 scale. Compared with the kit parts they have thinner walls, sharper edges and a deeper interior. What to watch out for during the fit:

  • sand the seating in the fuselage so that the part sits without pressure
  • set both nozzles to the same depth and axis, otherwise the difference shows
  • paint the interior before you glue the nozzles in

Building and painting tips

The parts are not polystyrene, so use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or two-part epoxy. Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the remainder. Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water before painting and let them dry, otherwise the primer will not hold. Apply metallic shades in thin coats.

Who it is for

Suitable for modelers who want to sharpen the tail and do not mind swapping parts. The difficulty is low: the finished nozzles go into a prepared seating, so even someone starting out with replacement parts will dare to make the change. Preparing the seating and painting the interior take the most time; the gluing itself is a matter of moments. The box holds only the parts listed; the model, the paints and the glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The nozzle petals are drawn together, so the cross-section at the end of the fuselage is smaller. The position changes with the engine setting on the real aircraft, so it pays to compare it with a photograph of the machine you are building.

It is intended for F-14A models in 1:32 scale. The particular kit and the extent of any modification are given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or two-part epoxy. Polystyrene cement does not hold here. Roughen the surfaces and remove any grease before joining them.

Sand both seatings to the same depth, dry-fit the parts and only then glue them. Apply the paint and the heat staining to both nozzles in the same order of coats.
