Will these do you?

Late ECS 1

Late ECS 2

(I'm linking to Photobucket as I can't recall where these originated; don't want to sully our rep with property issues!)

Should you be pondering an upgrade, I can confirm that the Quickboost 1/48 resin set replicates the 'cheese grater' holes nicely...

HTH.

Thanks Chip,

That's exactly what I was after. I've got the QB resin bits. So I basically have to sand them to within a micrometer of their lives as they seem to come pretty much flush with the fuselage?

Errr...yeeeess; but could be a major chore and would still leave 'em proud of the airframe -to me, they look totally flush with the surface. Check the second photo on this page of JesniF-16's awesome Superbug build. I can't dis the project, but that bit doesn't work for me. Also, the actual resin vents are painfully thin, so sanding the back would be way risky: there isn't much to hold on to & put pressure down.

Admittedly I haven't come near starting my Littel Precious yet, but my vague plan was to use the resin bits to fix an outline on the fuselage, chain-drill around it and remove the plastic, file as needed then superglue the blighters flush and sand/re-scribe everything to oblivion.

If I ever get near building the thing, I'll message you from the Secure Unit and let you know how it went...

Ho Yeah! That looks like a WIN to me. Much thanks for breaking trail for me! :salute:

Somehow I missed your build thread (asleep at the wheel again), but will follow with interest now I'm plugged in. You have the same kit as mine, the Royal Maces/Eagles boxing -just ordered the Rhino intakes thru eBay. Mine is destined for the 2012(?) Dambusters CAG scheme (Afterburner)....maybe!
