Zactoman Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 It's been brought to my attention that the PayPal button was putting the NSI intake in the basket. My apologies. Problem corrected. You may need to clear your cookies if you've tried and failed to order. If this doesn't work then e-mail me and I'll send a PayPal invoice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Beautiful work as always. But, how about a NSI intake for the Tamiya F-16? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Hi Chris, Eventually you did it. Nice stuff as always. I hope the item will be asked for like hot pies. ;) Cheers! Alexander Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Danaos Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The Tamiya blk52 Thunderbirds kit costs a fortune....if found....while the spare sprue with the NSI inlet parts has become also rare. A Zacto NSI inlet would be the super accessory for the Block 50 falcon owners who want a late blk -2 bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had to locate a T-Birds kit in 1/32 for the inlet and nozzle etc. I would have rather bout an NSI Inlet from Chris and nozzle from GT Resins (if Chris didn't create one as well........) All is not lost. I will use the other parts to make a Block 30 Viper instead. Edited October 2, 2017 by Mr Matt Foley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 OK that makes sense. I had only thought of this as a "correction" set the Academy kit so badly needs, not as a replacement for unobtainable Tamiya parts. Either way, I'll be ordering one of these next payday.

Making an intake like this (that fits!) is much more than gluing together a kit part and pouring a mold. Without substantial modification to the original parts the castings would be undersized due to shrinkage. While the existing Tamiya parts may currently be difficult to find, they are pretty accurate in detail and shape so no "correction" set is really necessary. Making a set because they are currently hard to find sounds like a gamble I'm not willing to take. With my luck they'd re-release the kit the moment I released the set.

Timvkampen Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hi Chris, what if you did do an NSI intake for the Tamiya kit and additional parts to make the A (B) (MLU) versions possible. Maybe team up with Mike from SierraHotel or KASL Hobby? The modelling community is waiting for this to become a reality... Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
