Chek Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I liked the correctly sized GT Resin J79s with long nozzles, but I preferred the exterior weld detail on the too small Aires version. So what I did was to emboss some egg treated darkened thicker foil (the kind that small cakes or buns come in) onto the Aires petals, then carefully peeled them off and gently pressed them down on the GT outlets. IIRC it only needed nine panels per side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiran01 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Sierra Hotel exhaust, hands down - beautiful detail, AND correct diameter. They were in stock on the SH website a few days ago when I was on there, for both revell and tamiya kits Vandy 1 VX 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some of their other items and they are all fantastic. I did a lot of research on the cans and everyone that had SH said there were the correct size. I just wish they had more products and kept them in stock. I'm looking forward to your build Top...

Bryan I think the detail on Joes cans/GT Resin cans are good, but maybe not quite as good as the SH option is. However, I think I have actually only seen seen SH products live and in the flesh once, at last years IPMS Nationals. I only wish their availability was that of most other manus.

MGySgt0372 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Well, gents...I decided to nab a few sets from Sierra Hotels long nozzles with corrected vents because of the exterior detail that's present & mention of correct diameter. They're a few bones less costly than the other brands, which are all good in their way. I like the effect the kit (or photo etch) burner rings will provide once assembled over the blades. SH doesn't show OOS as of this writing but I wouldn't wait too long if you're in the market for an accurate appearing set of cans. Y'all know it's hard to get stock from SH sometimes. Thanks for ALL the comments & suggestions. I really appreciate the help! Semper Fi, Masterguns Durangokid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The Sierra Hotel are by far the best, I did not mention them as are usually not available. I am glad to hear that Mike has them available. I only considered those that are readily available. If you've gotten the SH nozzles you'll be very pleased. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about the only place to order them from, unless you get them second hand. Semper Fi, Masterguns Edited April 4, 2019 by MGySgt0372 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
