Lockheed-Martin F-16, Jet Nozzle for Engine F110 (opened) Resin Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Tamiya) Metallic Details MDR4862 - For Aircraft Kit Model

Metallic Details MDR4862 is a resin exhaust upgrade for a Lockheed Martin F-16 build in 1/48. The set focuses on the open-nozzle look, with clearer interior depth and sharper petal edges to refine the rear-end area of the model.

Designed for Tamiya 1/48 F-16 kits that use the F110 nozzle configuration. The aircraft kit is not included.

Within the F-16 family, the engine configuration affects the exhaust appearance, so it helps to match the nozzle type to the specific version you are modeling before committing to paint and final assembly.

For modelers: dry-fit the nozzle to the fuselage opening early and keep the mating edge square while sanding. A simple circular jig (a short tube or ring) can help maintain roundness during cleanup. Paint the interior first, then finish the outer petals and blend the join line at the tail.

FAQ

How do I confirm my F-16 build uses an F110 nozzle?

Check your kit instructions and the specific version you are building. F-16 releases can be tied to different engine configurations, and the exhaust style should match that configuration.

What prep is recommended for resin parts before painting?

Wash the parts with mild detergent, let them dry fully, then prime. This improves paint adhesion and helps reveal any sanding marks that need cleanup.

When should I commit to glue and paint?

Adjust the fit first (after removing casting blocks), then paint the nozzle interior. Final assembly and touch-ups are easier once the mating edge is already tuned to the fuselage opening.
