Madelf75 Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Sometimes it is hard to see the Forest through the trees ,I just realized that I have the shape of the bottom of the intake wrong and it is something I need to correct,i did not see this tell I made my post. Have no fear I will correct it will be beautiful. John1, Youngtiger1, ColinR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Nice work! The upper and lower edges should have quite a radius on them also...not a sharp corner. I can post a photo after work Cheers Anthony BiggTim and Marcel111 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Nice progress. Would be next level if they feature realist trunking on the inside, which the kit doesn’t do at all… Cheers, Marcel Michael931080, Ali62 and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those NACA vents weren’t present on the later Pratt & Whitney powered Scooters. Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I was trying to show how the trunking rapidly turns towards the centreline, which is not at all the case on the kit intakes.

I didn't want to over exaggerate it Youngtiger1, allthumbs, Greg W and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Looking pretty good. You might want to add the missing refuelling light on the starboard intake with its associated access panel, which Trumpeter completely missed http://nabe3saviation.web.fc2.com/images/wa4m-08.jpg http://nabe3saviation.web.fc2.com/images/wa4m-12.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
