About product

F-14A Tomcat exhaust nozzle - closed position 1:48 (Aires)

This resin set from Aires in 1:48 scale replaces the exhaust nozzles of both engines with accurate copies in the closed position, that is, the state that goes with the engines running at higher power. The set covers the detail of the inner and the outer surfaces of the nozzles. It is an accessory to be built into a kit, not a model in its own right.

The real subject

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American two-seat carrier fighter with a variable-geometry wing and two engines. The F-14A was the first production version. On this type the position of the nozzles changes noticeably with the engine setting, which makes it a popular detail on accurate models.

Building and painting tips

Wash the parts to remove the mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). The nozzles are painted in metallic shades with heat staining; a combination of metallic paints and tinting clears plus a final wash works well. Stir metallic paints thoroughly, as the pigment settles. Protect your airways while sanding.

Who the set is for

  • Advanced modelers building the F-14A in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone who wants accurate exhaust nozzles in the closed position
  • Modelers used to working with resin and super glue

This is a resin accessory for a kit, not an airplane model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

The closed position of the nozzles matches the engines running at higher power, when the nozzle petals are drawn together.

No. It is a resin set of exhaust nozzles for the F-14A kit. The model itself is not included.

A combination of metallic paints and tinting clears with heat staining and a final wash gives a convincing metal look.
