About product

Aires F-14A Tomcat exhaust nozzles - open position, 1:48

This is an Aires resin detail set, not an airplane model. The set renders the exhaust nozzles of both engines of the F-14A Tomcat carrier fighter accurately in the open, spread position, as they look after touching down on deck or while taxiing. It replaces the simplified parts from the base kit with more accurate castings carrying fine relief inside and out.

The real subject

The Grumman F-14A Tomcat was a twin-engine carrier fighter with a variable-geometry wing, operated chiefly by the Navy. The A version was powered by a pair of engines with afterburner, whose nozzles moved with the thrust setting. The open position of the nozzles matches a lower thrust state and is typical of shots of the aircraft on the ground.

Building and painting tips

First wash the parts to remove any mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks carefully and sand the surfaces with your airways protected. Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate). The metallic shades and the heat staining of the nozzles come out once metallic paints and a fine wash picking out the recesses have gone on.

Who the set is for

  • Advanced modelers building the F-14A in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone who wants an accurate rendering of the engine section
  • Builders who want the nozzles in the open position
  • Collectors of Aires resin accessories

The detail set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base kit, glue, paints and further accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail set that replaces the exhaust nozzles on an F-14A Tomcat kit in 1:48 scale that you already own.

Resin castings are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on resin.

The nozzles are spread, as they look at a lower engine thrust setting, typically with the aircraft on the ground.
