Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II Exhaust Nozzle (Short takeoff) for Italeri kit (3D printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RSU48-0456 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU48-0456 provides a replacement exhaust nozzle for the F-35B Lightning II in 1/48, configured to represent the short takeoff nozzle position used in STOVL operations.

Resin/3D printed aftermarket accessory intended for aircraft scale model kits and miniature replicas.

Detailed parts for realistic 1/48 scale aircraft model builds, designed to reproduce the segmented nozzle structure and internal depth visible when the F-35B nozzle is angled for short takeoff configuration (kit-dependent).

The F-35B variant uses a rotating exhaust nozzle as part of its STOVL propulsion system. Depicting the short takeoff position adds a dynamic configuration and highlights the distinctive rear fuselage engineering of this aircraft.

For modelers: check the final nozzle angle before painting, as the short takeoff configuration exposes more interior structure. Paint internal surfaces first, then attach the outer nozzle ring after weathering to preserve sharp edges.

FAQ

What configuration does this nozzle represent?

This version represents the short takeoff nozzle angle used by the F-35B during STOVL operations.

Is this set designed for a specific model kit?

Yes, it is recommended for the Italeri 1/48 F-35B kit. Fit to other kits may vary and should be confirmed with careful test fitting.

Should the nozzle be installed before or after painting?

It is usually easier to paint the internal surfaces first and attach the nozzle after finishing the surrounding fuselage area.
