aim9guy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm building the Firefly B-58, with resin intakes, the aires exhaust and flaps. I was wondering if others have strode down this path before...any tips, things to look out for? Thanks, Kyle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The Aires Exhausts are not designed for the B-58, despite what the packaging says. Their F-4 cans just became a 4-pack, probably when someone over there saw that the two had the 'same' engines, and whether on purpose or innocence, decided to release them. The diameter of the F-4 cans does not match the diameter where the kit exhausts would go. You could slap them on and not worry, or recontour the kit parts to fit the cans; but straight up the difference is noticeable. I ended up using the kit cans and adding some scratchbuilt interior detail to busy them up, to me that was the lesser of the evils since with a NMF finish any sanding you can avoid is a good thing.
