Warbird Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi all While the cockpit paint was curing I performed some surgical procedures... 1) The Eagle Parts Supercharger intake is nice, however it needs to be fully hollowed out. The original plastic base of the supercharger intake must be removed and carefully sanded down to match the resin supercharger shape. With good care the fit is perfect The wheel bays are also hollowed out... These small air intakes are thinned down using a hobby knife. This picture shows the original kit spinner (left - shape is not pointy enough), the Eagle Parts one (center) and the MDC. I originally ordered only the MDC spinner but mine turned out to be quite oval (I think an issue already encountered by other modellers) so I chosed the Eagle Parts instead.
