Alternative exhaust cans for 1/48 scale F-4E & F-16 kits

[Scooter Man]

I am interested in learning whether or not there are after-market resin exhaust cans (excluding the Aires sets) for 1/48th scale F-4E and the Pratt Witney powered F-16's. For me the Aires after-market sets are tad out of my price range.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

Those look nice. Far better price than Aires. Does anybody know how the F-16 exhaust fits on the Tamiya kit?

Don't forget Shauwn Hull's 1/48 F-16 GE Exhaust Nozzles, they are probably the nicest on the market.

I see the Cobra Co. exhaust share the same can between the F-4 and F-16,hmmmm.Looks to be a copy of the Hasegawa F-16 flame holder.

There is also a Co. selling F-4 exhaust on E-Bay for $5.00 a set, I don't know who did the original Masters but I have the same set from way back in the mid 90's sold by Bench Works, it came with the Exhaust, Hydraulic bay and vacuum formed intake trunks, now they are supplied with Intake covers in their place.

They are nice, not as detailed as Aires, but they are far better than the kit parts.
