Resin exhaust nozzles for the Sea Harrier FRS.1 and FA.2 in 1:48 scale from the manufacturer Aires. A replacement for the vectoring nozzles of the powerplant with hollow openings that injected plastic cannot mold.
Responsibility details are not available.
A supplementary resin set that replaces the vectoring exhaust nozzles on a plastic Sea Harrier model. It is not an aircraft kit but one of the most effective details that can be added to this type: the nozzles are prominent on the fuselage, everybody looks at them, and the plastic parts from the box tend to have thick rims and a blind cavity. The resin casting has thin walls and openings that really do go through.
The Sea Harrier used a turbofan engine with four rotating nozzles on the sides of the fuselage. The front pair carried cold air from the fan and the rear pair hot gas from the turbine, which is why the two pairs differ in shape and in thermal loading. By rotating the nozzles the pilot changed the direction of thrust, which gave the aircraft a short takeoff and a vertical landing. On an aircraft standing on the ground the nozzles are usually turned to the rear, and in a hover into the vertical position.
The set is rewarding even for modelers who are only starting with resin - there are few parts and the assembly is simple. Wash the castings in warm water with detergent, cut the casting block off with a saw and level the surface wet. Before you glue the nozzles in with cyanoacrylate, think about their rotation: either all of them to the rear for forward flight, or downward for a hovering presentation. The painting deserves attention, because the front and rear pairs do not look the same; the front pair tends to be closer to the metal shade of the fuselage, the rear one darker and heat-discolored. Reach for metallics that polish well, or for pigments to tint the scorching. Darken the inside of the nozzles so that the cavity reads as deep.
This is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a model in its own right. It is supplied unpainted; paints, glue and the kit are not included in the package.
