Michael931080 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Reskit really does nice work! I have a few bits and I am thoroughly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The Reskit goodies just keep getting better. And the price is really reasonable also. Moreover, the owner is super friendly and supportive. Cheers, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I’ve just started work to clean up a set of the Flanker exhausts. The burner rings are seriously awkward to clean up of the excess resin. I also found that my set has a slight crack in the thinnest part of the nozzle, but will be able to fix/hide under the heavily soot/heat stains that those engines produce. I’d say be very careful when removing the casting parts, and be very gentle with the knife/saw/files. That said, they are a thing of beauty. If anyone wants to see a set dry fit together, I’ll snap a few piccies when I’ve finished both. Along with a comparison of the Aires set too.

Kagemusha Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 That'd be great Pete, not seen any of their exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Forgive the not so great iPhone shots but they show off both offerings quite well I think. My conclusions are mixed. The Reskit parts clearly fit the kit better, are much thinner, display the exhaust petals more correctly. They appear to be deeper than the Aires set, and the reheat section differs from the Aires set, I haven’t been able to find any reference photos that show whether the Reskit reheat sections are accurate for the real aircraft or not. The two renditions vary quite a bit in shape and size as you can see. Inner details are beautifully rendered in both sets, but feel sharper, and have more subtle engraved detail in the Reskit set. Overall, I think much prefer the Reskit over the Aires set. The fit and how thin the edges are sell it to me, along with the resin cast flame rings for the reheat section. Enough waffle, here are a few images. Kagemusha, Isar 30/07, Landrotten Highlander and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks for that Pete, I have a full on etch set from HAD, but laziness is calling me to buy the Reskit exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn’t hate photo etch so much, I’d love to have had a go at one of those sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Stupid I know, but is the Reskit burner on the right? The darker grey? Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
