jetdx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi all, It is nice to have these forums to go to when I have a question! I am building a Kinetic F-16F and I am getting to the part where I need to include the exhaust nozzle. I have bought a GE aftermarket engine exhaust and I would like to know how to do the best way to get that streaky look inside and the best way to paint the outside. I do not know about doing anything in depth but I would like a good look. THX Jetdx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have bought a GE aftermarket engine exhaust Which one did you get? I wasn't aware anyone offered a Block 60 GE exhaust. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetdx Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 OH MY...here we go...It may not be exactly accurate (it is accurate according to me) but it is Aires F-16C/D Block 30/40/50/60. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 OH MY...here we go...It may not be exactly accurate (it is accurate according to me) but it is Aires F-16C/D Block 30/40/50/60. :blink: What the heck??! I just asked a simple question. sheesh. I didn't know anyone made a Block 60 exhaust, and judging by your response, they don't. The Block 60 does have a unique exhaust which is visibly different from the Block 30/40/50 GE engine, but as long as it's accurate enough for you, who cares?

jetdx Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sorry if I came across a little harsh, I was just preparing myself. Past "experience" let me know that there is a lot to take into consideration for any f-16. I have put money towards some aftermarket stuff just to find out later that it would n not apply to certain blocks, etc. I was also preparing myself to spend yet more money.

SouthViper Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Well, the GEs for the F-16E-Fs are the more powerfull of this engine line, -132 if I remember well. But looking at pics in the F-16.net I was not able to see any relevant external differences between the -129 and -132 exhaust engines. So I would go with the Aires set #4425. Good Luck .

Rambler Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There are some differences in the Block 60 engine. The turkey feathers are longer than the earlier engine and they stick out more. It's pretty noticeable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
