Zactoman Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 All orders have been shipped. Some of you should be receiving your parts tomorrow. I hope you like them! I'm going to put together a tutorial about filling and sanding the seam and doing the latex pour. I will post it here as well as on my website. I just need to figure out how to get some better pictures inside the intake! Tutorial is up: http://www.zactomodels.com/html/F-16/Intake_Tutorial.htm Next I'll be posting a little tutorial here about how to make the Sufa bump. You are the man. No, you da man!

Winnie Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Next question is when are you going to make a "loud-mouth" intake.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Great job, Chris. If you need any ref pics of the Block 52+ intake, let me know. I'd be happy to send you what I've shot. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polar bear Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Do you test fit for inbox HTS or 5L/5R pylons? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Do you test fit for inbox HTS or 5L/5R pylons? Since the external shape of the intake has been corrected, you will no doubt need to test fit the pylons and make slight adjustment to them. A small price to pay for a corrected intake.

Scotsman Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've received , and installed the intake set on my latest F-16 project , and it fits superbly , actually better than the kit parts , and even with the aires resin undercarriage bay in place the fit isn't impacted in any way , an excellent product chris , and I look forward to may more F-16 builds in my future , (on top of the 5 in the last year or so!) One other product that suggests itself while talking about P&W powered F-16s , a tail pipe set, with closed petals , I got a hold of a set of Tamiya parts , and they fit the academy kit , and beng closed look a lot better than the rather clumsy pieces Academy would have you use Just a thought!

habu2 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I received my set today, very nice and very quick service/shipping. :thumbsup:/> WRT adding the bump in the floor of the 52+ inlets, won't this be problematic when pulling the part out of the mold (or, the mold out of the tunnel)? It seems the tunnel mold would have to be two parts, resulting in a parting line at the high point of the bump. Edited August 8, 2014 by habu2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 just ordered 1 set! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) just put my talons on this masterpiece! Now I need to nail the jaws again! any chance to release a P&W nozzle in the near future? thanks for this excellent stuff Edited August 27, 2014 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twhite80 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I got the small mouth and realized that I also need a large mouth intake. What is the ETA on that bad boy? If its as good as the small mouth I can't wait!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wright2626 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 does anyone know if this will fit on the hasegawa kit? just wondering if anyone has tried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Any date on the Big-Mouth? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I spoke with him recently and i was told its being worked on. So, hopefully soon we will see it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the news, Youngtiger1. I found this kit at a Hobby Lobby in their Clearance section. The price was so ridiculously low that I bought it. I want to do an in-flight of an F-16C from the B.R.A.C.'d 178FW in Springfield, OH. It's a Block 30, so it needs the M.C.I.D. intake. The "big-mouth" intake in the kit is horrendous. I could live with the N.S.I. intake. Again, thanks for the news. I can't wait.

chomper Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm going to have to look at mine to see if I can replace the kit parts. Mine is almost ready for paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I'm going to have to look at mine to see if I can replace the kit parts. Mine is almost ready for paint. Hey Chomper, Are you doing a Viper with the MCID (big-mouth) intake? I've had mine on hold, because I have other projects that I can do. I wanna get some NSI and MCID intakes, when Chris gets them both done and on the market. By the way, what jet are you doing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I shuffled things around and bought a Tamiya kit to give me a Block 50 build. I went ahead and ordered a small intake for my Academy kit to build my Block 52. EDIT: Wanted to add that it arrived last week. Absolutely stunning work! Very excited to start this build now.
