rohan Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Anyone comment on this 1/32 resin set? Is it as good as Aires or MK 1? (Obviously Aires comes with the PE fan stuff as well) but in relation to the nozzles only, are the Black Box nozzles just as good?

Dave Williams Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The BB exhaust nozzles are pretty good and seem to be improved versions of the kit nozzles. They are a one piece nozzle, not two parts like the MK1 exhausts. The Aires exhausts are good for the inner burner cans only. The exhausts themselves are noticeably undersized.

rohan Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Do you mean the Aires ones are undersized? Aires are expensive too. Black Box are nicely priced as well. Id prefer the MK 1 cans if I can find them. Im trying now but everyone seems to be out of stock. Are they still being produced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Yes, the Aires nozzles are quite undersized. I don't know if the MK1 nozzles are still being made, but I haven't seen them for quite a while. I got mine from HLJ many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohan Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Many thanks for that. Im told in the UK they will be available again soon. Would you chose the MK 1 cans over the Black Box? The MK 1 cans look very nicely detailed. Edited January 1, 2013 by rohan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 It's been a while the Mk.1 cans are noted as "future release" at hannants... I have already bought the aires ones, but if i can get the mk.1 before starting my build, i will certainly bought them. In addition they are quite cheap.

The MK 1 cans look very nicely detailed. I think because of their two part design, the MK1 cans look a little more like separate inner and outer nozzles than the BB cans. Also, the MK1 exhausts have nice detail at the end of the feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8fan Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Hi. see post 153 here. the MK1 are the ones you want. Not made at the moment. Rare as Hen's teeth. http://s362974870.on...c=196766&st=140 BTW, I think that this is the website for the manufacturer. I wonder if enough people pestered...err contacted them, that they might redo the molds? http://www.ka-models...ute=common/home Edited January 1, 2013 by Av8fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
