Starfighter Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The kit sure builds into a nice models, small detail issues let apart. It's just an utter shame they left away the intake trunks. I hope an aftermarket company will solve this issue, otherwise FOD covers are the only option... scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Well, you can see through the open fuselage side louvers when you look into the intakes. LSP_K2 and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Well, you can see through the open fuselage side louvers when you look into the intakes. Yep, tops of the main gear wells too, along with the entire blank interior of the fuselage. If all of this were to be painted black, that may help some, but does not really address the problem.

I am looking forward to the AMS solution! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I wonder if AMS or even GT Resin would be a good fit for intake trunking? Sure looks like that is what is stopping some.........including me from purchasing this kit quite yet.

Sure looks like that is what is stopping some.........including me from purchasing this kit quite yet. The complete absence of trunking, is absolutely mind boggling to me. While I very much like the kit, generally speaking, as I stated in my review, I'd be thoroughly annoyed to buy the kit and discover this omission, especially for $100.

Tony T Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 dawngrocerystore still has them for £46.80 including postage from China. I got distracted by the Kitty Hawk Voodoos (which do have intake trunking), but may bite if prices hold. Tony LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Dan Leduc loaned me some parts from one of his kits. I made a casting of both intakes and wheels. I am looking at trying FOD covers, wheels with grooves and maybe intakes with trunking, when I get back home, (my wife's dad is very ill). I have a seat about 80% finished, but again, it will be in the near future if all goes well. blackbetty, LSP_K2, Out2gtcha and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were seemless intakes and trunking available for this kit I'd pick a set up along with this kit for sure. As it sits, I'm going to pass on the kit until some become available.
