Eduard 672433 - 1:72 F-35B exhaust nozzle Print 3D

Eduard Brassin (3D print) engine exhaust nozzle set for the F-35B model in 1:72 scale

The Eduard 672433 is a 3D-printed engine exhaust nozzle set tailored to the F-35B model in 1:72 scale (recommended kit: Tamiya). The F-35B uses a swivelling nozzle that directs thrust downwards during vertical landing, and 3D printing makes it possible to reproduce its construction faithfully.

The parts replace the corresponding plastic part of the base kit, increasing the realism of the rear fuselage section.

3D-printed parts – fine detail unattainable with injection moulding

Brassin Print 3D accessories are produced using direct 3D printing, a technology that reproduces very fine and spatially complex details that are difficult or impossible to achieve with classic injection moulding. The parts replace the corresponding plastic parts of the base kit, raising the level of detail of the finished model.

The 3D-printed parts should be cut from their printing supports, cleaned up and attached with cyanoacrylate glue. Because the details are delicate, it is worth using precision tweezers and working carefully. The printed parts take paint well once primed.
