f12aaa Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Here some review pics of the new Aires set for the Tamiya F-16 in 1/48. In the set are included some brass wires to do some realistic wiring as shown in the instructions sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Tavendale Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 They look good. Have you had a chance to drop it in to check the fit?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RedStar Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I did a little work with one set yesterday, it does take a little work to get it to fit, but nothing onerous. The insides of the wheel well opening need to be thinned a bit for the main to fit, 10 minutes with a sanding stick and you're set. Now the front is going to be more challenging. What I haven't tested yet is to see how it fits with the other intake duct pieces to see if that's going to present any extra problems for filling/smoothing the intake. Big improvement over the kit parts, really nice pieces! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Would it be possible for you to post a pic of the kit part that this replaces, so those of us without can see the differences? TIA, Brian W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
