Breaker Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Well, I've got a set and I spent some time removing the pour blocks and test fitting. Thoughts + Cans are the correct size and fill the space well. + Detail is really good, should be easy to pick out with paint. - The Turbine section / Exhaust Tube section don't fit together well at all. Considering this is CAD, I can't figure that one out. - The box are shows the exhausts have a slot milled in the side to accept the kit part to locate them. This doesn't exist on the actual parts and there's no location aids out the box. - I get the feeling they'll need to be fully painted and installed before the kits gets fully built. Going to do some more test fitting with a stalled F-4E and if there's enough interest, I'll upload some photos.

Barry Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hi Sir, I would love to see photos of these Afterburner Sections and Exhaust Nozzles. I'm sure others fell the same! Barry LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Excellent, They look great and you said they are properly sized to fit the Tamiya kit! I have many hours sitting inside the exhaust section preforming Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) testing and they look the part. Thank you, Barry Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) The jetcans look great, but is that Reskit 32-0041 for the Tamiya or is it 32-0043 for the Revell? It looks more like the latter based on the Hannants catalogue, unless Reskit have changed the design a bit. The diameter of the tube fwd of the jetcan looks reduced, just like the Reskit-for-Revell tubes, which would be a good thing.

Dave Williams Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I also asked ResKit about the Tamiya cans as the box drawing showed the exhaust tubes tied together with the center tab with a screw hole like the Tamiya parts, but what was in the box were two separate exhaust tubes, like as shown on the Revell can box. I thought I had gotten the wrong parts, but they said they changed, and what I got was correct. Tony T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydiver60 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I have a couple of sets of Reskit burner cans and they are very detail and really make the model pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32scalelover Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) I am in the same fix at the moment. I have the Reskit F-4E exhausts for the Tamiya kit and am trying to figure how they are installed, I am not sure if I am to use the center tab with the screw and remove the stock engines, then glue the Reskit tubes to it, or to leave it out altogether. Has anyone completed this install, and if so how did you do it? Breaker did you get yours installed? Any guidance would be appreciated.

BloorwestSiR Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 The only AM exhaust cans that mimicked the stock mounting are the Aires sets but they're undersized. Although not the Reskit burner cans, when I used the GT Resin ones I just inserted them into the assembled fuselage. They basically were a friction fit. Not too tight, but tight enough to stay in place and even adjust their angle. Hope that helps. Carl LSP_K2 and Christoffer Lindelav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, as I was not sure how I was going to paint them if I had to install them before starting painting the plane.

BloorwestSiR Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Greg, I don't recall if I thinned the opening out or not before I assembled everything. I don't think I did but maybe do a dry fit beforehand? Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you end up super gluing them in place or just leave them friction fit? Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
