RESKIT RSU48-0097 F-14 D closed exhaust nozzles for Hasegawa kit 1/48

RESKIT RSU48-0097 is a high-quality detail-up set designed for 1/48 scale F-14D Tomcat aircraft models, dedicated to the plastic kit by Hasegawa. The RES/KIT product is precisely made from durable and highly detailed polyurethane resin, guaranteeing a realistic appearance and excellent replication of details. The set allows you to replace standard exhaust nozzles with closed jet engine nozzles, characteristic of the D version of the popular US Navy carrier-based fighter.

The F-14D Tomcat model is the latest and most advanced version of the legendary fighter aircraft manufactured by Grumman. This aircraft was widely used by the US Navy during the Cold War and in conflicts of the late 20th century, including during Operation Desert Storm. The F-14D differs from earlier variants, among others, with its more advanced General Electric F110-GE-400 engines, which feature unique, multi-segment exhaust nozzles. Their appearance and position were crucial for the aircraft's performance and influenced its infrared signature.
