Lockheed-Martin F-35 A Lightning II, Detailing sets Jet Nozzels (Resin & Flexible Wire) Scale 1:32 (Recommended for kit: Italeri) Metallic Details MDR3201 - For Model Aircraft Kits

Metallic Details MDR3201 is a detailing set for the jet nozzle area of the Lockheed Martin F-35A in 1/32, recommended for Italeri kits. The set combines 3D-printed resin parts with flexible wire to help refine the rear-end nozzle appearance and add crisp edges where kit parts can look heavy.

On 1/32 modern jets, the exhaust area is a major visual focal point. Using mixed materials can help represent thin lips, internal structure, and fine line detail that benefits from sharper definition at this scale (final look depends on your assembly and paint approach).

For modelers: dry-fit the resin parts with the kit rear fuselage early to confirm depth and alignment before painting. Keep primer and metallic coats thin to preserve the 3D-printed surface detail. Add the flexible wire after the main painting step, and secure it with small amounts of adhesive so it follows the intended routing without kinks.

FAQ

Is this set designed for a specific kit?

Yes. The product is recommended for Italeri 1/32 F-35A kits. Dry-fit parts before paint to confirm alignment with your kit’s rear fuselage.

When should I add the flexible wire?

After the main nozzle and fuselage painting is complete. This helps avoid overspray and makes it easier to route the wire cleanly.

Do I need to paint the nozzle before installation?

Many modelers paint the nozzle parts separately for easier access to metallic finishes, then install once the rear fuselage is ready. Test-fit first to plan your preferred sequence.
