General Electric J79 Turbojet Engine For F-104 Starfighter — Scalable 1/144 To 1/32 (Multi-Part Kit)

Highly detailed model of the General Electric J79 turbojet engine, the legendary powerplant behind the iconic F-104 Starfighter and numerous other high-performance military aircraft. This axial-flow turbojet with its unique "petal" variable exhaust nozzle and distinctive "smoky" operation became one of the most successful jet engines of the Cold War era, powering aircraft to record speeds and altitudes.

An essential addition to any F-104 Starfighter build, aviation engine collection, or military aircraft maintenance diorama. The unmistakable J79 profile with its characteristic compressor sections, afterburner system, and variable nozzle immediately identifies this as the engine that powered the "missile with a man in it."

• Accurate representation of the GE J79 with all key components and features

• Multi-part kit with optimized component separation:
— Front compressor section with accurate inlet geometry
— Mid-section with compressor stages, accessory gearbox, and fuel lines
— Rear section with turbine, afterburner, and variable nozzle
— Combined one-piece version for simplified printing
— Parts with thicker cables for smaller scale printing

• Default scale is 1/100, suitable for 3D printing from 1/144 to 1/32 and even RC scale
• Included inlet diameter that is proportionate to the scale—just resize the inlet to your desired diameter and use the percentage ratio to scale the rest of the components
• Divided into 3 parts (front, back, and nozzle) for optimal printing
• Combined part available for those who want to print in one piece
• Parts with thicker cables included for smaller scale printing

Printability:
• Designed for intermediate to advanced modellers
• Front, back, and nozzle components split for easy hollow printing
• Combined one-piece version available for those preferring single-part printing
• Parts with thicker cables included for enhanced durability at smaller scales
• Small components sized for their respective scales
• No supports needed on most resin printers for major components
• Assembly instructions: attach front to mid-section, connect rear section, adjust nozzle if desired

Whether you're building an F-104 Starfighter, documenting jet engine evolution, creating an aircraft maintenance diorama, or showcasing aviation engineering, the GE J79 brings iconic turbojet technology and distinctive presence to your collection.
