Hi Guys, Here is my solution for the wrong Revell engine nacelles. It took me a while to find the most probable solution and at the same time using the least possible work (no engraving, putty and so on). Maybe some find it interesting and helpful and want to do the same. I can say that I bluntly asked ZM to send me some sprues. I wasnt satisfied with the Revell 1/32 wing assembly and had no ambitions to create another long-term-exhausting-nerv-eating-adjusting build. SO I had the idea to use some parts off the ZM He-219 to fix my already bought Revell. Honestly I was so upset with the looks I almost threw it in the bin. Back to the start: Well I got an advice from ZM and no sprues. They said It would be very difficult to bash both Kits and that they are very different in setup and so on.... Well as I received my already ordered ZM Heinkel I was positively surprised to find an option at the last page in the building manual for ordering seperate sprues. Thought about it five minutes and ordered these sprues as well. We are talking about Sprues D and 2x B and one clear sprue for the fantasic canopy. I will explain later why I ordered the clear parts as well. Alltogether it was the price of another Revell 219 but I wanted to test it. So some time went by but I couldnt forget about the Revell waiting in the stash. So one evening I grabbed the Kit and glued together wings complete with the inner parts of the nacelle. I was impressed how the parts fit together after giving them a careful trim. I one can say one thing about the new Revell kit - it fits like a glove....
