Adam Baker Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Just wondering who is thinking about getting the new seamless intakes taht Cutting Edge/Meteor just released? Im already saving my money up to get the intakes for the 1/32 Hornet & the 1/48 F-15E. Got both planes sitting on the work bench, and for the price, I'd rather just get the seamless intakes, than try to clean the kit parts up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scotsman Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Well i'm planning to - I've got an A+, and a D model F-18 planned for the comming year , and if there's one thing I detest is sanding/painting/filling the intake trunks on the Academy Hornets - so its great news as far as i'm concerned - now if we could just get CE to Finally address the trunking on the Tamiya 32nd F-4s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I will probably be buying a set of F-15E trunks. I have two others planned right now, and so doing at least one with them will be cool. I think i will also be buying a set of the A-6E ones too...just in case.

Stephen Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I've got an F-15E set ordered. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Already ordered a couple of the 1/32 Hornet intakes, and one each of the A-6 and F-8 intakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 HOrnet and F-8 for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Firecaptain Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) I have 2 sets of F-15 intakes, and the quality is awsome. Needless to say I ordered 2 Hornet sets, and 2 A-6 sets. I took the Meteor F4 survey and I peppered it with "Dave PLEASE give us some 32nd full seamless intake trunking for our Tamiya Phantoms"! Hopefully, he will expand this line. I can't wait to see what he offers for the Trump 32nd Hun and Intruder, I'll have to set aside 200 smakers just for "stuff" for those kits from all the "stuff" that the aftermarket will offer.......(fingers crossed)!

strikeeagle801 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm just hoping he will drop the 25 dollar minimum order. It kind of sucks some times. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GA.modelmaker Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 i will wait for the 1/48 hornet trunks to come out. and hopefully by then the wing fold set be out and a few other things will be out for the f-18. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcfay Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Just wondering who is thinking about getting the new seamless intakes taht Cutting Edge/Meteor just released?Im already saving my money up to get the intakes for the 1/32 Hornet & the 1/48 F-15E. Got both planes sitting on the work bench, and for the price, I'd rather just get the seamless intakes, than try to clean the kit parts up. Just curious - what are the problems with the 1/32 hornet intakes? Are they really bad? I have the kit (the D variant, actually) but haven't started working on it yet. Are the CE intakes that much of an improvement? If so, I guess I'll be picking some up too! Thanks - Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) Apparently the stock intake trunks are too narrow at the front. That size also makes it a lot harder to get them cleaned up, b/c its difficult to get much of anything into them, to clean the seams. At least thats the problem Im having. And as far as the 25 dollar minimum, fortunately; or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it;, they've got 3 sets of stuff, including the 2 intakes, that I want, so its about 70 dollars worth of stuff. So I wont have to worry about the minimum order. Edited December 21, 2006 by Adam Baker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Firecaptain Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Got my Hornet and A6 intakes today........al I can say is........VERY NICE! Great engineering and finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P47ACE503 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I will be getting some of the F-8 and A-6 ones, but I too am disappointed in the $25.00 minimum order deal! Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Wolstenholme Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Got my Hornet and A6 intakes today........al I can say is........VERY NICE! Great engineering and finish. Hi Firecaptain. Reference CE comment "It is well known that the Academy Hornet intakes are OK on the exterior (intake lips).....". They don't look OK when comparing to photos Daco p52. Have they also corrected the intake lip? Cheers John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
