okthree Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Did Steel Beach make a set of intake plugs for the 1/48th Hasegawa Phantom? I thought I saw some on Sprue Brothers web store, but a recent check there I could find any. Or is this a future release it? Anyone....? Darren??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantomdriver Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) No, as far as I recall they were there lat time I looked 2 weeks ago Ed Edited March 30, 2008 by phantomdriver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Why not get some from Harold at AMS? All you have to do is paint them and drop them in: http://mysite.verizon.net/resqt29j/ Here are a couple of pics of the finished product (ignore the dust on the model!): Ben (No financial connection with AMS, I just like Harold's products) Edited March 30, 2008 by Ben Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okthree Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ben thanks for posting. That's what I'm looking for. I though Darren at Steel Beach made a set, but it must of been these that I saw instead. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kstater94 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Darren did make a set However, (if I remember correctly) he was having problems getting complete sets without air bubbles so he has discontinued them until he can perfect the process. Cheers John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers John You know a mind is a terrible thing to waste. I thinking I have been inhaling too many Tenex fumes. I remeber now that Darren posted something about having trouble casting these. I thought there was something posted about that so I did a search but came up with nothing. John, thanks for posting that information. At least there are some available from AMS.

Darren Roberts Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 With Harold's excellent set, there's no reason for me to make them. I can spend my time on other projects that aren't covered (like the upcoming A-4, F-8, and F-16 big mouth inserts). I'm of the opinion that after market companies should work together to bring the modeler as many different products as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm of the opinion that after market companies should work together to bring the modeler as many different products as possible. I agree, why make something if the others are well made already? Waste of time. There are soooo many things that can be made for us, that we don't really need redundant stuff. Now, having said that, I mean WELL MADE. Like I would completly re-do something that has been produced before, by a certain Korean company, or some ju....unk made by a certain Chinese company, etc. Keep up the good work Darren.
