F-104 (S, G-late) Starfighter exhaust nozzle for Kinetic kit (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RSU48-0507

Aftermarket resin and 3D printed accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits, representing the exhaust nozzle used on the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter in later configurations.

Highly detailed parts intended for accurate 1/48 scale aircraft models, reproducing the characteristic nozzle petal structure and internal depth associated with the late-version F-104 engine installation.

The Starfighter features a long narrow fuselage that ends with a prominent exhaust assembly. Because the rear fuselage is highly visible on finished models, a refined nozzle helps improve the appearance of the tail section and adds more depth to the engine outlet.

For modelers: test-fit the nozzle inside the fuselage opening before painting. Applying metallic shades and subtle heat discoloration to the interior before installation helps maintain clean edges around the nozzle petals.
