F-100 PW-229 UNMOUNTED OPEN NOZZLE for F-16 ENGINE ON

Open engine nozzle F-100 Pratt & Whitney 229 with 3 composite petals disassembled to be mounted on the F-16. As a damaged nozzle, in assembly phase or as an engineering schematic cut to observe the internal mechanisms.

This piece has been tested in fit and dimensions on the 1/32 model of Tamiya F-16CJ BLOCK 50 and another variant for Academy F-16I SUFA. This extends the options to choose between 2 different diameters for the cover that fits to the fuselage. You can choose the version in the selector at the bottom of this page.

The F-100 is the powerplant used in all major North American F-15 air superiority series. The F-100 PW-100 flew for the first time on an F-15 on July 27, 1972 and beat several climbing speed records in 1975. The PW-200 was mounted in the F-16s in 1983. In 1985 the PW-220 flew with a new electric system to equalize softly power and in 1989 flew for the first time the PW-229.
 

Pieces

Sold as 2 pieces. One nozzle and the other fuselage fairing as 1 engine.

Does not include the model of the F-16.

Assembly

Only require the gluing and assembly to the plane. The basrelief "NO PUSH" is optional. Its function is to allow the painting of these letters and their background box.
 

Scratch

This detailset does not require scratch work. It is prepared for painting and assembly in the model of the plane. The rivets stand out more than necessary and reliefs have been placed in the changes of inclination of the end of the afterburner, to facilitate the painting with different tones by zones. If they are not desired, simply sand them lightly.

It may be necessary to sand and match with putty the union of the inner lining of the afterburner with the remaining part of this in the original model.
