I have been working on a fighter jet MOC. The overall design is done for the
most part, but I have been a bit undecided on the best look for the jet engine
nozzles at the back of the plane.

I have attached two screen grabs of the nozzles. I would like to know which set-up
people like best.

I prefer the second screen grab where the inside of the dark gray cylinder piece
is less visible.

Fighter jet engines typically have an exhaust system which narrows/constricts
the exhaust coming out. The first screen grab looks more like a rocket engine
nozzle.

Here is a picture I found online of an F16 Exhaust for reference.

I like the first one more and although I am not an engineer I think something
like a thruster should end up more widely.

For jet engine the second with tapered exhaust, the other is more characteristic
of rocket engine design. I like Randy's idea, too.
