F/A-18 Super Hornet type 2 exhaust nozzles for Meng kit (3D Printed), 1/48 - ResKit Models RSU48-0521

The F/A-18 Super Hornet Type 2 ResKit Models RSU48-0521 exhaust nozzles are a detailing accessory designed for Meng’s F/A-18 Super Hornet scale models at 1/48. Made via 3D printing, this set lets you replace the nozzles included in the kit with a dedicated Type 2 reproduction.

The F/A-18 Super Hornet is a U.S. carrier-based fighter aircraft, recognizable in particular by its two engines and the exhaust nozzles located at the rear of the fuselage. This highly visible area plays an important role in finishing a modern aircraft model, especially when the model is displayed on a mirror, a stand, or in an aircraft carrier deck diorama.

The 3D-printed parts feature fine detail along the edges and the interior surfaces of the nozzles. They are intended for precise assembly on a compatible Meng model kit in 1/48 scale.

Assembly and finishing

As with any 3D-printed detailing part, removing the support structures requires careful handling with the right tools. Cleaning the contact points and doing a dry fit before gluing help ensure a clean integration onto the airframe. Painting can then be worked with metallic shades, dark tones, and a progressive weathering/patina to recreate the complex look of an exhaust area.
