Closed nozzle for F-16 (P&W F100) in 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I am looking for a closed nozzle for an in-flight build of a Tamiya F-16.

It should be a nozzle for the Pratt & Whitney F100.

 

Is there any aftermarket company, which produces a closed nozzle?

 

Cheers,

Markus

Well, it is what it is.

I had gotten a crazy notion some time ago to use the Hasegawa turkey feathers photo-etch set and build a prototype closed nozzle and then cast it. Still might but I have lots going on in my life right now and modeling is confined to reading about it on the web for now.

But the Italeri casting isn't too bad. I even considered casting it for my own use to make multiple in-flight F-16's for former F-16 driver friends of mine. But again...life got busy.

Count the number of petals/facets on the burner, they are wrong.  Same for the GE nozzle in the Italeri kit.  They are both wrong.

Hmm, sounds complicated, since I don't have an F-15 kit with closed nozzles either, so maybe I will build it with an open nozzle.

 

Thanks for all the comments and your help.
