delayar Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited October 12, 2016 by delayar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

delayar Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks. Not the most desirable solution, but I will look into it. Cheers, Markus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VADM Fangschleister Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 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.

jefropas Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Grab em off an old F-15 with the feathers on and scab em onto the Viper exhaust, its a pretty easy solution. No resin as I've yet to find... Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delayar Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 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. Markus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
