Darren Roberts is a
regular on ARC and is producing a range of resin itemsfor the jet modeller.
This much welcome resin item will permit you to park your F-16 with FOD covers
on the exhaust. Darren also produces intake covers for the F-16.
This FOD cover is
designed to be a direct replacement for the Hasegawa kit parts L1, L2, L3 and
H5. If you look carefully you'll notice a wavy pattern/panelline.....this
will have to be position on the bottom. This is a strapless cover
and if you want your cover to have straps to hold it on....then you can
replicate these straps with stretch sprue, fine wire or very thin thread.
There is one
page of instructions that you can see to the right. The casting
quality is pretty good with a few tiny swallow micro bubbles that should
disappear under a coat or two of paint. All in all this is a very
neat product that is well done and nicely cast with well done panel lines
etc that directly match the kit parts. It is sure to be popular with
the F-16 builders.
Steel Beach
Accessories produces other FOD covers for intake
and exhaust for the F-14, F-16 and F-18. |
