BAC Lightning (F1, F2, T4, F2A) Exhaust Nozzle for AirFix kit Scale 1:48 ResKit RSU48-0171 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU48-0171 provides a replacement exhaust nozzle designed for BAC Lightning aircraft builds in 1/48 scale.

This resin aftermarket accessory is intended for aircraft scale model kits and focuses on reproducing the distinctive exhaust structure used on the Lightning, with refined petal edges and deeper internal nozzle detail compared to simplified kit parts (kit-dependent).

The rear fuselage of the Lightning features a vertically stacked engine arrangement, making the exhaust area a prominent element of the aircraft’s silhouette. A dedicated nozzle component helps capture the layered structure and improves visual depth once the exhaust section is painted and weathered.

For modelers: test-fit the nozzle inside the fuselage opening before painting the rear section. Painting the internal nozzle surfaces first can help maintain sharp petal edges during final installation.
