ResKit RSU48-0172 Exhaust Nozzle provides a replacement exhaust section for English Electric Lightning aircraft model kits in 1/48. The part focuses on the distinctive circular nozzle structure and internal depth typical for the Lightning’s vertically stacked engine arrangement.

Aftermarket resin accessory intended for aircraft scale model kits and miniature replicas. Precision parts support realistic 1/48 scale aircraft model builds and improve the definition of the rear fuselage exhaust area.

The Lightning family is known for its unique twin-engine layout with engines mounted one above the other. This configuration makes the exhaust section a prominent visual element on the aircraft, and refined nozzle detail helps capture the characteristic appearance of the Lightning.

For modelers: wash resin parts with mild detergent before assembly to remove casting residue. Test-fit the nozzle with the fuselage opening and adjust the contact surfaces carefully to ensure a clean alignment before painting.
