F-104 (A, C, D, J, G) Starfighter exhaust nozzle for Kinetic/Eduard (#11169 The Zipper) kit (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RSU48-0505

Aftermarket 3D printed accessory for aircraft scale model kits, representing a replacement exhaust nozzle for the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter.

Precision parts designed for realistic 1/48 scale aircraft model builds, focusing on the distinctive exhaust petal structure and internal geometry typical for the Starfighter turbojet installation.

The F-104 Starfighter features a long narrow fuselage with a prominent rear engine section. This aftermarket nozzle replaces simplified kit components with refined petal detail and improved internal depth suitable for highly detailed display builds.

For modelers: test-fit the nozzle inside the rear fuselage before painting to confirm alignment. Applying metallic base colors followed by subtle heat staining can help highlight the layered exhaust structure.
