Gloria GR48012B F-16CJ F110-GE Exhaust Nozzle & Afterburner CLOSED TAMIYA 1/48

Gloria GR48012B F-16CJ F110-GE Exhaust Nozzle & Afterburner CLOSED is a high-quality aftermarket set designed for the F-16CJ Fighting Falcon kit by Tamiya in the popular 1/48 scale. The product is made using precise 3D printing technology, ensuring excellent detail and a refined finish of every element, far surpassing the standard factory plastic parts included with the kit.

The F-16CJ is an American multirole fighter jet, commonly used by the United States Air Force (USAF) and numerous NATO and allied air forces worldwide. The F-16CJ variant, equipped with the General Electric F110-GE engine along with its characteristic exhaust nozzle and afterburner chamber, plays a key role in SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) missions, destruction of enemy air defense systems, and air operations from the 1990s to the present day.

The offered Gloria GR48012B set allows you to recreate the characteristic closed afterburner exhaust nozzle, faithful to the real F110-GE engine used in the F-16CJ. This product is intended for modelers who wish to enhance the realism of their Tamiya F-16 model by adding a highly accurate replica of the powerplant assembly, visible from both the rear and within the afterburner.
