I eventually managed to prepare the second outer flame-holder in the same way, by flat-sanding the part on some sandpaper, initially quite coarse, then swapping to 240 grit as the part got thinner. Once the main holes opened up, I only moved the part across the sandpaper by pressing on the center section with one finger - to prevent stress on the delicate outer bits. I've also managed to remove the excess resin from the inner flame-holders using the technique described above.............. with a little help from a scalpel to cut away the bulk waste first. Thanks for the tip, Mr Vark. Well done, ResKit, these are beautiful castings !

Brave, or reckless and lucky ! I haven't dared to tackle the inner flame-holder part yet ! :-)

OK, so it is possible.................... how does this look ?

I'm just removing the casting blocks from my set and this part actually looks quite thick when compared to the 'instruction' sheet illustration.............. is it possible that ResKit intend us to sand down the part even more, until that keyed alignment hole opens up naturally from behind ? There does appear to be a very slight ridge that might be intended as a guideline.

Or all of the above !

Thanks for posting these images, all is clear now; My Res-Kit F-111 exhausts should arrive very soon !

It's a long shot, I know, but I wonder if one of these could be substituted for one of the closed ResKit nozzles.......... ? http://ka-models.co.kr/?product=148-f-14a-pw-exhaust-nozzle-set-closed-for-tamiyahasegawa

Yessssssss !

That would be great !

I have both these sheets on back-order at Hannants............. any idea when they will receive stock ?

Will you be making these wheels available to other BIG BUFF builders ? I could use a couple of sets myself..........

Don't forget to include the meatball sized for the 1/72 and 1:48 LASRE kits now available................. please !!

You said it ! Take a chill-pill.

Would love seated pilots with visors down !!

Received safely. Nice !
