panzerrob Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi all, I am building one of these tiger stripped F16's using the Academy F16CG/CJ. The problem I have is that this kit has both the General Electric F110 and Pratt & Whitney F100 engine nozzles, and I have Aires 2102 Exhaust nozzle for Academy kit. Which of these 3 nozzles looks the most like a Pratt and Whitney 229 nozzle? With regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The Aires 2102 is the GE exhaust. The F-100 is the one you would want to use, the 229 being an updated version of the F-100. But the kit nozzle isn't great, there are replacements available, as such: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/gt-resin-32048-f-16-falcon-pw-220e-engine--1143257 Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerrob Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Thanks for this info! Most likely I will use the kit parts as the nozzle won't be that visible in the end. It will face the wall when finished. The Aires Nozzle (and wheel bays) came with the kit. But I will have a look at GT Resin's site to see what's possible and the costs. Another problem will be the shipping. A package with 1/16 Kingtiger roadwheels is sitting idle at a US Post facility since March 24! Again, thanks for the info!
