Terrific build, Pastor!

I always fancied building this kit with every aftermarket there is available for it.

Are the resin intakes (by CMK?) meant to correct any shape issues in the Trumpy kit? Or what else are the FOD covers on for? Take the FOD covers out and let us see how the intakes look like inside.

Cheers,

Thanks for the kind words.
Resin intakes are by Quickboost (48902), I have used them because I had them 😉. Compared to Trumpeter's ones they have slightly better looking thinner edges.

FOD covers are not removable, because intakes and engine exhaust are not painted inside.

 

Cheers!
