Description
Metallic Details MDR4859 is a Resin Set to assemble two jet nozzles for the SR-71 Blackbird in 1/48, designed for Testors/Italeri kits. Exhaust areas are a key focal point on the SR-71, and resin parts can improve the sharpness of petal edges and the depth of the nozzle interior compared to simplified kit tooling.
The practical angle is depth and symmetry: twin nozzles sit close together and are easy to compare visually, so consistent inner detail and clean outer edges help the rear end of the model look more uniform after metallic painting and weathering.
The SR-71 is a long-range reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed and its Skunk Works division. This set upgrades the nozzle area only and does not change the airframe configuration.
For modelers: dry-fit the nozzle parts into the kit nacelles before painting to confirm seating depth and alignment. Clean resin mating surfaces, then paint interiors first and assemble with minimal glue to avoid squeeze-out on visible edges. Test-fit again after paint, as primer can affect tight tolerances.

FAQ
How many nozzles are included?
The set contains resin parts to assemble two jet nozzles.
Will these nozzles fit both Testors and Italeri 1/48 SR-71 kits?
Yes, the set is specified for Testors/Italeri. Dry-fit is still recommended, as kit tolerances and paint thickness can affect seating depth.
What is a safe approach for painting resin nozzles?
Wash and dry the parts, apply a suitable primer, then build metallic tones in light layers. Paint the interior surfaces before final assembly to keep edges clean.
