Cool exhaust nozzle

Exhaust nozzle consist of an inner and outer barrel, rear frame with the afterburner ring rendered and 2 side shield for the 2D exhaust halves. In addition there is an assisting frame used to maintain a round shape when applying the super glue close to the lip.

when done, re insert the shaper frame to just keep it round. No glue at this point.

Technical note:
engine thrust can be controlled and optimized when the nozzle area is controlled at different afterburner condition. Most engines have multiple petals; the entire afterburner nozzle is able to open and close as required. The early french engines used on the Super Mystere and early Mirage 3 had a 2 piece nozzle halves that were simple, however, not efficient.
