infofrog Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Thank you All Ok I have applied some White Mulliput . i need to make this brass looking color dome . I guess this would be some kind on inlet air intake . Maybe someone will let me know Enjoy Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 It looks like some kind of IPS (Inlet Particle Separator) designed to separate the dirt and particles from going into the engine. Basically it is suppose to make the air clean before going on into the engine. Dirty engine air is a power loss. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C-17eng Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 It is actually the intake housing for the engine. It is a fiberglass shell that is why it has the copper look to it. It is the glue and fiberglass mixed together. She is a good looking bird spent many years working the AF version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
