swimmer25k Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 AMUR Reaver just released what look like some very nice thrust vectoring Saturn engines. I believe they are sized to the Hobby Boss Flanker kits. I ordered two sets. One for the Kittyhawk Su-35 (on order) and one for an Academy Su-30. The aperture to accept the nozzles on the Academy kit are about 25 mm. AMUR says that they'll fit the Academy kit with some modification. How much of a difference is there in the openings between each kit? How much of a drop-fit will they be (if HB is the standard for which they were manufactured for)? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrea Bolla Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 From A.M.U.R. Su27 exhaust description (also made for HobbyBoss kit): "For use with models produced by Kinetic or Academy, it is necessary to refine the plastic parts of the fuselage – increasing the diameter of the nacelle engines by approximately 0.5-0.7 mm. For the Su-34 model of Hobbyboss, the diameter of the nacelle should be reduced by 1 mm." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ching kuo Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Thanks for the instructions, but I do not find it at A.M.U.R. Can you send me the exact link please Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris, did you order vectoring thrust (Su-35) sets for both models? If you need usual AL-31F nozzles for Su-30 we'll release them soon. They will fit to Academy Su-27/30 and Kinetic Su-33 without any modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One for the Su-35 and the other to use on an Academy Su-30MKI conversion I've been messing with. Are you making a separate swiveled nozzle set to fit the Academy kit?

I think there is no sense to make them for Academy, but I'll try to help you, making some "how to" prescriptions for existing sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive already modified some Aires nozzles that look pretty good on the Academy kit. The Academy opening on the fuselage is about 25mm. What is the diameter of your nozzles where they meet the fuselage? If your parts are wider, it should be easy to sand them down to fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Matvey Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 To install the vectoring thrust nozzles, you should cut tail engine fairings as shown. The set include these parts integrated. The diameter where the red lines painted on photo is similar to our set one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
